Hospitals have limited medical staff, and the number of foreigners who have gone to public hospitals for treatment has been increasing, and some are even cases of suspected new viral pneumonia. In accordance with the situation, the Hong Kong Public Medical Doctors Association asked the government and the Hospital Authority to explain the arrangements for the use of medical resources and re-declare the arrangements for front-line staff to work in isolation wards. This includes regularly reporting to the public important stocks of anti-epidemic materials such as hospital beds, related drugs, protective equipment and rapid testing reagents. It also recommends that the HA suspend the requirement for front-line medical staff to perform non-clinical work and non-essential paperwork or hold non-essential meetings.

The Hong Kong Public Medical Doctors Association stated that as a front-line staff, they understand the responsibility of taking care of patients, and also accept an open, fair and fair lottery procedure to determine the sequence of work in the isolation ward. It denied that a lottery arrangement had been made, and claimed that all colleagues had volunteered to join. The association considered this statement to be misleading and may affect future colleagues' claims arrangements under different circumstances, asking him to retract this statement.

The Association also requires the Bureau to clearly explain all the arrangements for front-line colleagues to work in the isolation ward, including working hours, accommodation, vacations, work or vacation accommodation arrangements during medical supervision after leaving, additional insurance and compensation after unfortunate illness.
