The Secretary for Security, Mr Tang Ping-keung, today (April 3) led colleagues of the Security Bureau (SB), heads of the disciplined services and auxiliary services departments and their colleagues, representatives of the Independent Police Complaints Council as well as leaders and representatives of youth uniformed groups of various disciplined services departments to distribute anti-epidemic service bags to residents in Sham Shui Po, appealing them to fight the virus together.
Joining the distribution included the Permanent Secretary for Security, Ms Carol Yip, and the Under Secretary for Security, Mr Sonny Au.
The team, divided into nine groups, set off from the Sham Shui Po Police Station this morning. In the company of the District Officer (Sham Shui Po), Mr Paul Wong, the team distributed anti-epidemic service bags to residents in Sham Shui Po area door to door. Mr Tang encouraged them to make good use of the items and to enhance personal protection in a bid to win the anti-epidemic battle.
Mr Tang thanked all participants for sparing no effort in participating in anti-epidemic work, which fully demonstrated the spirit of fighting the epidemic in one heart. He also presented the SB Anti-epidemic Task Force vests and jigsaw puzzles featuring large-scale community isolation facilities constructed with Mainland support to leaders of the youth uniformed groups as a token of thanks for their support in today's activity.
The Government started distributing anti-epidemic service bags in 18 districts in Hong Kong yesterday (April 2) and the distribution is expected to be completed in seven days. Several distribution points are set up in each district by the Government for people who cannot receive anti-epidemic service bags to pick up onsite to fill the service gap.
