[21:00] The Jockey Club said that due to the government ’s request, it is necessary to further control the number of participants on the racecourse. Therefore, it decided to perform the next three racedays, namely Happy Valley Night Horse on February 12, Sha Tin Day Horse on February 16, and February. On the 19th, night horses in Shatian, except for trainers, jockeys, on-duty directors and related staff, will only allow horse owners to enter the racecourse. It is estimated that the number of customers will be further reduced to 400. All customers are required to undergo a temperature check before entering the racecourse and are advised to wear masks on the site.

Racecourse facilities will only be open to a limited extent. During the night horse race on Wednesday, February 12, the Happy Valley Racecourse will only open the Grand Prix and the horse master rooms on the second and third floors. There will be no two-way betting service on racecourses that night.

Today, one person from the Mainland who is subject to compulsory quarantine is required to stay in Sai Kung Outdoor Recreation Centre and Tso Kung Tam Outdoor Recreation Centre.

[18:40] I was asked that there were 807 people entering through land crossings, why only 161 had to be quarantined, and why did the police only spot check 10 people? Lin Zhengyue explained that most of the immigrants came to Hong Kong via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, and had visited Macau and were not included in the compulsory quarantine order. She called on all compulsory quarantine people to cooperate and discipline themselves, and not to try the law in person.

The former's monthly production has increased to 1.8 million, and the Correctional Services Department has recruited 800 retirees to produce for 24-hour production, bringing the monthly output to 250. The additional 700,000 masks will be provided free of charge to FEHD outsourced cleaners.

Lin Zheng said that she is also involved in procurement, but many countries have implemented export restrictions and there are many uncertain factors.

I learned that some local Hong Kong people have long-term illnesses and need medicines. The Wuhan Office has coordinated with the Department of Health to buy medicines in the private market and then ship them to the local area through the government. The first batch of medicines was shipped yesterday.
