Where to buy cloth masks online in Hong Kong
If you have contracted COVID-19 or are looking after someone who is ill, here's where you can find cloth face masks.
Due to recent events, many stores are experiencing a shortage of certain products. Be aware that many retailers may currently be out of stock, have longer shipping times than usual or be charging above-average prices. Remember that stockpiling items isn’t actually necessary right now and that over-buying can leave others vulnerable.
Some sellers will charge prices far above the average, also known as “price gouging”. We encourage consumers to be vigilant about unusually high prices, and compare options before making a purchasing decision.
The response to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to equipment shortages, especially when it comes to masks. While the advice for the general public is to hold off on buying masks due to a current shortage for medical workers, those who have contracted COVID-19 and those who are looking after the ill are asked to wear one.
Please check in with the Hong Kong Department of Health for up-to-date information on COVID-19 and here for information on the use of masks.

Will a cloth mask protect me?
While a cloth mask won’t guarantee the same level of effectiveness as an N95 or KN95 mask with a valve, the cloth is there to prevent moisture from breathing and coughing travelling too far in the air. They also serve as a good reminder to stop touching your face.
How to make your own face mask
If cloth or N95 masks are hard to find or out of stock online, consider sewing your own. If you have a small swatch of fabric about the size of a napkin, shoelaces, scissors, and a needle and thread, you can make a mask without additional supplies.
How to remove your mask properly
First, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before putting on your mask. When you’re ready to take it off, do not touch the front of the mask, because it could be contaminated. Instead, remove it by pulling the bottom strap over the back of your head, followed by the top strap. Discard the mask and then wash your hands with soap and water.
What’s the difference between P2, N95 and KN95 face masks?
The difference lies in the testing requirements for each country of origin. P2 masks adhere to Australian and New Zealand testing standards, KN95 to Chinese requirements and N95 to US guidelines. All offer nearly the same level of protection, with some slight performance differences, as outlined by respirator company 3M.
