Highlights
What happened in Hong Kong was different

The AEBM has become an unprecedented mass movement involving widespread community participation—a survey conducted by Centre for Communication and Public Opinion Survey at the Chinese University of Hong Kong indicated that 52.6 percent of respondents participated in one way or another in the AEBM
Summary
What happened in Hong Kong was different. Most Hong Kongers have a relatively low level of trust in their government and the Hong Kong government’s response alone cannot explain Hong Kong’s successful containment of infections. How Kong’s civil society networks have contributed to the containment of COVID-19 In countries such as New Zealand (approximately 55 confirmed cases per 100,000 people) and Taiwan (less than 10), successful containment of the pandemic has been due to governments enforcing quarantines and restrictions on people’s movements at the early stages of community infection.
