59 Hong Kong police quarantined after meal with colleague with COVID19 coronavirus

HONG KONG - Dozens of Hong Kong police officers have been placed in quarantine after attending a banquet with a colleague who later tested positive for the new coronavirus, officials said Friday.

The 48-year-old officer found to be carrying the virus had dinner on Tuesday with 59 colleagues, police said.Health officials said four officers, as well as the infected policeman's wife and mother-in-law, showed symptoms of illness. Social media was also inundated with messages from Hong Kongers vowing to mark the occasion by drinking champagne.

Friday's protest marked the seven-month anniversary of a bloody assault by club-wielding men -- some with connections to "triad" organized crime gangs -- on protesters at a train station.
