Thousands of Hong Kong hospital workers turned out in force to support a strike called by local union Hospital Authority (HA) Employees Alliance on Feb. 3.

The alliance wants the Hong Kong government to meet their five demands, such as banning the entry of all travelers from China, providing enough isolation wards, and suspending non-emergency hospital services.
