Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that she learned from a secretary this morning that she was a close contact of a preliminary confirmed person. She said that subsequent investigations were conducted within the government.
Lam Zheng pointed out that on January 3, a person (referring to Hong Weimin) arranged a banquet, including government officials. Among them, the banquet attendees belonged to the family members of the newly diagnosed patients and were classified as close contacts. A preliminary diagnosis was later confirmed at the quarantine center, but the case has not yet been known.
Lam Zheng pointed out that from the Health Protection Center, the initial confirmed patient only attended the banquet at 9:30 that night. Therefore, from the perspective of the Center, the person who left before 9:30 was not a close contact.
After she learned the relevant information, she now understands that 10 government officials attended the banquet. One of them was the Director of the Civil Affairs Bureau Xu Yingwei. The Defense Center had arranged for him to enter the quarantine center. The other 8 officials had already left the meeting before 9:30.
Lin Zheng expressed that he was very disappointed that some officials were still attending large gatherings after the mutant virus Omicron entered the community, especially Xu Yingwei, who stayed at the banquet all night and put herself at risk, while the other 9 were not present. Too resistant, there is no risk of taking off the mask for eating and manufacturing, and should be treated separately.
She pointed out that the anti-epidemic work hours are long and many people work hard to fight the epidemic. As principal government officials, they should set an example and try to avoid attending risky private gatherings. These are not activities that are required in public office. Of course, officials are responsible for their actions.
