The Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, met with reporters before attending the executive meeting this morning (12th). She is expected to be asked about the recent incident in which the police arrested 55 pro-democrats on suspicion of "subversion of state power" under the Hong Kong National Security Act.

In addition, with the repeated epidemics in Hong Kong, the public is concerned about when to get the new crown vaccine. It is estimated that Lam Cheng will also be asked about the relevant questions.

"Hong Kong 01" will be broadcast live.

Lin Zheng said that the epidemic has continued to repeat in recent days, and the environment and nature of the diagnosis are worrying, including hospitals, homes for the elderly, and large construction sites. Some of the confirmed cases have a wide range of contacts, such as paramedics.

She understands that the people are tired from fighting the epidemic, but when it is not time to relax, she expects the people to "spend in peace" during the Lunar New Year.

Regarding the arrest of more than 50 democrats by the National Security Act, Lam Cheng said that he did not comment on the case, but said that everyone is equal before the law. If they hold a certain political concept and are not subject to legal sanctions, it is not in line with the spirit of the law.

She criticized some people for discrediting the National Security Law and stressing that the National Security Law has become the law of Hong Kong.

The guild did not discuss the BNO response plan

[10:07] Regarding the BNO issue, Carrie Lam said that Hong Kong had a lot of worries before its return. China and the UK had a consensus on BNO.

She pointed out that the current situation is that some people unilaterally deviate from the consensus, but they do not know that there is any specific plan to discuss. The SAR currently has no measures to deal with it, but believes that in the face of unreasonable foreign sanctions, there is no reason to "do nothing," and the SAR will cooperate with the central government. The government's countermeasures.

However, Lam Zheng emphasized that although the relevant initiatives were recently put forward by members of the Executive Council, the guild did not discuss them.

As for the arrests of more than 50 pro-democracy parties, Lam Cheng responded that the police arrest has been under investigation. Since there may be prosecutions, it is inconvenient to comment as the chief executive.

She quoted the government's previous statement in response to foreign countries that everyone is equal before the law. If someone thinks that they have taken certain actions, they will not be affected. This is not Hong Kong's core value.

She also pointed out that many people have linked the smearing of the National Security Act to the arrests of relevant persons in the past six months, and emphasized that the National Security Act is Hong Kong law and that there is a law that is inevitable, otherwise it will be useless.

Vaccination does not provide monetary incentives

As for vaccines, Lam Zheng pointed out that he is actively studying how to start vaccination.

The Hong Kong Government will continue to publicize and emphasize that there is a job-approved vaccine.

Lam Cheng also pointed out that he would not provide financial incentives. He emphasized that the Hong Kong government should give two injections on time and prepare enough numbers. However, vaccination can only be voluntary. If the "mandatory" policy is pushed, the worry will be counterproductive. However, he believes that social vaccination will be beneficial to the public in the future. Going out is also helpful, but it depends on the overall vaccination rate, etc.

It is expected that the Lunar New Year is "

spending

peacefully"

[09:56] Lam Cheng pointed out that in recent days, the weather has been severely cold, and he urged everyone to wear more clothes, be careful and safe when using the heater, and take care of the elderly at home.

She mentioned that the epidemic situation has slowed down slowly in the past few weeks, but it is still repeated. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be more new diagnoses today. The situation is worrying.

She mentioned that the nature and environment of the recent epidemic are worrisome. It involves some environments that the government has always hoped to strictly observe, such as hospitals, homes for the elderly, and large construction sites. Some people are involved in providing services to the public and have a wide range of contacts, such as the fire department's ambulance. Crew, crew, bus driver, etc., should not be taken lightly.

Lam Cheng pointed out that he understands that in the past year, citizens were frustrated, tired, and unable to see their exports, but now is not the time to relax. The global epidemic has set new records almost daily. There are currently about 90 million confirmed cases worldwide.

The government will continue to adhere to the foreign import policy, hoping that those stranded abroad will understand. As for internal non-proliferation, it needs the support of every citizen to reduce unnecessary social gatherings. The Lunar New Year may have to be spent in a calm environment. He also quoted the Director-General of WHO as saying, Maybe citizens are not being persuaded by the authorities, thinking that everyone can help the epidemic prevention work.

She once again thanked the citizens for their understanding and cooperation.
