>> Masking sets HK apart even as we are sardined

If the sheeple do not follow, could they be sent to visit Jack Ma ? <G>

The Government has increased the penalties for breaching requirements under the relevant Regulations in order to create the necessary deterrence effect. The relevant legislative amendments took effect from 11 December 2020. A person who contravenes the requirement of not wearing mask at public place commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine at level 3 ($10,000), or may discharge liability for the offence by paying a fixed penalty of $5,000. The authorized person may deny the person who is not wearing a mask from boarding to the transport carrier/ entering the area, or require that person to wear a mask and require that person to leave that place if that person does not comply with the requirement of mask-wearing. If a person fails to comply with the requirements to wear mask or leave the area upon the authorized person’s request to wear a mask and leave that place, he/ she also commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine at level 3 ($10,000).
Moreover, a person who fails to provide personal details to authorized public officers, provides false or misleading information, or obstructs an authorized public officers in performing their function would be liable on conviction to a fine at level 3 ($10,000).

<Is why we find it odd that folks have debate about whether masking works or not>

Any engineer or chemist will tell you that masking can never stop virus propagation transfer 100%. The question should be: if each masked person can stop infection by a small percentage, is the cumulative reduction in the spread significant? And your Hong Kong experience suggests that is verifiable.
