Where to Buy Masks in Hong Kong?
Last updated on April 1, 2021.
There has been an explosion of information, comments and opinions on COVID-19 on the internet and social media. We believe that on serious topics in general, and on public health matters in particular, it is essential to rely on facts and seek credible, expert information. Our mission at Healthy Matters remains to bring you the best information, so you can make the best choices for you and your family.
For a while now, there have been doubts around the effectiveness of masks in slowing the spread of the COVID-19. In recent weeks, certain countries started to realise that Asia may have been right all along.
As Hong Kong is hit with a second wave of cases, many people are rushing to stores to make sure they have enough masks for themselves and their families. Here’s where to find them and how much they cost (prices in HKD).
The basics
Local pharmacies get regular stocks of masks, usually ranging from around $220 – $280 for a box of 50 so those are generally your best bet. There are over 650 registered pharmacies in Hong Kong, meaning there are pharmacies all over the city. You can find here an updated list of all registered pharmacies in Hong Kong. A well known one is Fanda which has several locations in Hong Kong:
