Yesterday, a plainclothes policeman shot a 14-year-old boy in the leg in Yuen Long. Radical protest groups attacked metro stations. Chinese banks and businesses that support the government have been attacked. Carrie Lam calls on the population to support the government and condemn violence. For Beijing, the anti-mask law is "absolutely necessary".
Chief Executive Carrie Lam wants to implement the regulation claiming she is worried about the "dangerous position" in which "young people" find themselves. Anyone wearing a mask in public could get up to a year in prison and a HK,000 fine. Law enforcement will continue to wear masks because they can be "easily identified".
