More than 3,000 nurses and doctors registered with the Hospital Authority Employees Alliance voted to strike next week to pressure the Hong Kong government to close the eight remaining open border points. 

Ten members voted against the strike while 25 marked their ballots as undecided.

A registered nurse named Ada who voted said she felt "disappointed in the government" for ignoring the advice of local health experts and refusing to close Hong Kong's borders.
