Hong Kong hospital workers vote to strike over coronavirus concerns

More than 3,000 doctors, nurses, and other hospital workers in Hong Kong voted in favor of striking unless the city closes its border with mainland China, the South China Morning Post reported.

Hong Kong’s Chief Executive Carrie Lam has said she wouldn’t close the border over fears of fueling discrimination.

Other countries around the world, like the US, Japan, and Australia have imposed restrictions on entry from China.
