Acceptance of Home Quarantine Scheme
Concerted efforts: A Hong Kong University's survey reveals that the community has strengthened solidarity, increased acceptance of the Government's Home Quarantine Scheme, and taken preventive measures to halt the spread of atypical pneumonia.

 

The atypical pneumonia outbreak has made Hong Kong people more united than ever, with 65% saying that our solidarity is higher than before the virus arose.

 

They also thought that the level of unity among family members, peers, colleagues and the community had enhanced, while co-operation among neighbours was relatively weak.
