then almost 300 people lost their lives here in hong kong so that epidemic hong kong of course being a very densely populated allowing for the spread of epidemics such as this quite quickly now some fall hong kong has 14 confirmed cases of the new current a virus the fear of course is there that that number could be considerably higher and that's given the fact that it can take it's believed up to 2 weeks before people displaced symptoms in that time people have been traveling to and from mainland china so course that is a concern for people here we're seeing people have boarding big open spaces public events have been close schools are closed a number of workers are now working from home just an attempt to try and avoid the spread of this virus and what are the authorities doing to get on top of this merger. well authorities this week have closed a number of borders with mainland china they've suspended a high speed rail service is this expanded ferries they've also home the

agencies palestinian and israeli agencies in the occupied west bank that is a very controversial issue actually for a very long time among the palestinian public that's been a lot of pressure always
