Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said at the press conference that, given that the current epidemic situation is more severe and there will be a larger outbreak at any time, two variants of the virus are clearly breaking out in the community.

She bluntly stated that there is no way to greatly relax any social measures, so she announced an extension of two more weeks to February 17; during the period, large-scale events will continue to be suspended, and she calls on companies to hold fewer events and reduce the flow of people in the community.
