My sense is that the wearing of masks in Hong Kong really started in 2003 when SARS first hit, and then never really stopped afterwards.

Whilst I haven’t been there for a couple of years, I visited 4 or 5 times a year from 2003 until 2017, and it seemed then that the wearing of masks in public was widespread.

Has the wearing of masks increased significantly in recent weeks?

Yes. Massively.

I’m in Bangalore. I’m due to travel CMB-SIN-SYD in two weeks. All on-line outlets for masks ‘stock unavailable’.

(Hand gel is no substitute for soap. Hand-washing is the key, not applying chemicals. Disposable gloves are better.)
