It’s Louis Koo (古天樂) to the rescue!
Apparently veterans actors and actresses have been facing trouble in getting face masks during the Covid-19 outbreak. In response, the Hong Kong star has secured 20,000 face masks and will be distributing them to his fellow artists.
The 49-year-old actor, who is head of the Hong Kong Performing Artistes Guild, assured the Hong Kong entertainment scene that they won’t have to fight the Covid-19 outbreak alone. Financial daily Hong Kong Economic Times reported that he’s trying to source for more masks.
This comes after news surfaced claiming that 66-year-old actress Angelina Lo (盧宛茵) had used toilet tissue paper together with cotton mask to wrap around her face. Many others have chosen to remain at home in order to minimise casualties.
