Families in Asia's financial hub of Hong Kong are suffering isolation and trauma after strict coronavirus rules have led to babies being separated from parents and those with newborns herded into tiny quarantine quarters for up to 14 days.
"I got fever last night because I have gone from breastfeeding to 100% pumping," said the woman, who asked not to be identified.The separation of families over the virus is not common in other developed cities, say legal experts. Shahana Hoque-Ali, a scientist who moderates the Hong Kong Quarantine support group on Facebook, said it had assisted in more than 100 cases of children who had faced separation from their parents over the past year, with dozens in the past week.
That case has ensnared bankers, lawyers, and the city’s international school network, with some teachers and students infected. While staff there did their best to assist, the facility is not designed for families, the residents said. "Parents and the school have strongly requested for alternative arrangements that are more humane, with regards to the treatment of young children," he added.
