The flight itself is definitely the most risky part of the trip, especially as we have no great way of protecting our baby (mask is useless or even counter-productive).

Would it be wise to change our flight to an earlier date e.g. this coming weekend or even a weekday next week? Or is it better to play it by ear and even reschedule to a later date (and stay safe in our HK apartment waiting out the containment). Keen to hear what others would do. We don't really have any other considerations to take into account apart from the actual moving date.
To where? And what access to medical care will your family have at the destination?
