HONG KONG - Temporary relocation for families and face masks were two of the top issues concerning Hong Kong finance professionals as they began their first full business week, after the Lunar New Year holidays, under the shadow of a fast-spreading coronavirus.
Financial firms in Hong Kong have variously told or allowed staff to work from home as part of broader precautions against the virus - which can be transmitted from person to person, has claimed 361 lives in mainland China and has spread to around two dozen other countries. Additional caution would be another blow for Hong Kong whose economy and market have already suffered from months-long pro-democracy protests and the U.S.-China trade war.
All the people spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized by their firms to speak on the subject.“My priority is not really on anyway - I’m more concerned about the short supply of masks,” he said.
