Hong Kong largely shut down as it recovered from overnight violence, with the subway, many storefronts, banks and shopping malls closed
HONG KONG—Citywide disruptions stretched into a second day as Hong Kong’s subway network remained closed, along with many storefronts, banks and shopping malls, a day after the government invoked emergency measures to ban masks, prompting a wave of violence overnight.
People formed long lines early Saturday at some of the supermarkets that were open, while the city’s labor department urged employers to make accommodations for late workers as transport was snarled in parts of the city.
