Defiant protesters marched against the face mask ban in Hong Kong. More here:

HONG KONG - Hong Kong fell eerily silent on Saturday, with the subway and most shopping malls closed in an unprecedented shutdown of one of the world’s biggest commercial centers after the government invoked emergency measures to curb months of unrest.

The night’s “extreme violence” justified the use of the emergency law, Beijing-backed Lam said in a television address on Saturday. Other groups gathered in Sheung Shui close to the border with mainland China and in the busy shopping and tourist district of Tsim Sha Tsui. China’s Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office said on Friday the protests were evolving into a revolution backed by foreign forces and could not continue indefinitely.

The airport express, one of the most popular routes to the airport, re-opened with a restricted service on Saturday, MTR said.
