New direction in virus fight
April 26, 2021
Chief Executive Carrie Lam
In the past month, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases worldwide has continued to rise, with the death toll exceeding three million. Fortunately, the epidemic situation in Hong Kong has been generally stable. The number of local cases has remained at a very low level and the fourth wave of the epidemic is evidently under control. Taking into account our enhanced anti-epidemic capabilities and with the Government s vaccination programme moving forward steadily, I announced a new direction in fighting the pandemic a fortnight ago with the aim of restoring the normal operation of society and people s daily lives as far as possible while keeping the epidemic situation effectively in check. However, the success of this roadmap for fighting the pandemic still depends on everyone s efforts.
