The Secretary for Innovation and Technology, Mr Alfred Sit, together with the Under Secretary for Innovation and Technology, Dr David Chung; the Commissioner for Innovation and Technology, Ms Rebecca Pun; and the Commissioner for Efficiency, Mr Ivan Lee, today (April 3) teamed up with colleagues and participated in the distribution of the anti-epidemic service bags to residents of "three-nil" buildings and grassroots families in Western District. It is hoped that the anti-epidemic awareness of the public can be enhanced through the distribution of medical supplies and the epidemic situation can be stabilised as soon as possible with the concerted efforts of the community in fighting against the virus.
Each anti-epidemic service bag contains two boxes of anti-epidemic proprietary Chinese medicines, 20 rapid antigen test kits, 20 KN95 masks, a leaflet with anti-epidemic information provided by the Centre for Health Protection and a message card from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government. The medical supplies in the service bags have been provided to Hong Kong for the purpose of combating the epidemic under the staunch support of the Central Government.
Mr Sit said, "The service bags not only carry anti-epidemic supplies, but also warm regards from the Central and HKSAR Governments to the Hong Kong people. I hope that members of the public can make good use of the anti-epidemic supplies to protect themselves and their families. With the wider use of rapid antigen tests across society, the screening of positive cases will become more efficient. This will help stabilise the epidemic situation swiftly and minimise the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development as much as possible."
