Dozens of Hong Kong doctors remained in Shenzhen, Guangdong province to care for patients and fight the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.
On Feb 8, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region imposed a compulsory 14-day quarantine on those who had visited the mainland.
The quarantine disrupted the daily routine of Hong Kong medical staff working in the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital who attended patients during the day and returned to Hong Kong at night. But they quickly realized what needed to be done.
The long trip to and from the hospital was time-consuming and it took time away from patients.
