HONG KONG — A suspected small-scale homemade bomb exploded at a general hospital in Hong Kong on Monday, causing the temporary evacuation of some patients but no injuries, police said. The explosive ordnance disposal unit “found a suspicious bomb inside a toilet, 15 centimeters long, 10 centimeters in diameter,” police said. “They took away the pieces of the suspicious bomb for further examination and evacuated around 20 people to a safe place. Hong Kong on Sunday barred residents of China’s Hubei province, the center of the virus outbreak, from entering the city. Hong Kong has so far confirmed eight cases of people infected with the virus, which has killed 80 people in mainland China.
