Panic buying by panicked residents caused several stores or groceries to run short of essential goods such as rice, soap, disinfecting liquids and sanitary napkins as can be witnessed from the empty shelves in this branch of Aeon, in the Megabox department store in Kowloon Bay. A rumor stating that Hong Kong would run short of toilet paper saw a rush on that commodity by the residents of the autonomous territory. The previous week, a similar rush caused stores to run out of fresh vegetables. As entry restrictions increased after the Hong Kong government shut down all land borders but two (Shenzhen Bay and the Zuhai-Macau bridge), and as confidence in the government is at an all time low, residents live in the fear of being placed under a similar lockdown as in Wuhan. Today, two more cases of Wuhan Coronavirus were identified in two separate hospitals in Hong Kong. At the same time, a cruise ship with 1800 passengers on board is also held under quarantine at the Kai Tak Cruise terminal.
