The fifth wave of the epidemic was fierce. The Omicron variant virus broke out in the community with two transmission chains. Since New Year's Eve, the number of confirmed cases has increased day by day, and the crisis has spread to the Legislative Council.

The DAB member Chen Zhongni and his assistant had contact with a preliminary confirmed person on Monday (3rd) evening, and his assistant later returned to the Legislative Council building and the office of the CITIC member.


Chen Zhongni pointed out that after he learned that the person was initially diagnosed this morning (6th), he had notified the Legislative Council Secretariat and the Democratic Alliance for Betterment of the Communist Party (DAB) caucus immediately. He, together with five other colleagues, will be tested.

Because the Legislative Council building is undergoing expansion, the offices of some members have temporarily settled in the CITIC Building, and the assistants of different members have to share an open-plan working space.

Chen Zhongni said that in Wan Chai that night, he had an outdoor greeting with the initially diagnosed person. The contact time was only about ten seconds. "I said hello, but my assistant is more patient and courageous in contact with him." He said it was not clear whether the assistant and the other party had the same meal or not, or wore a mask to communicate with each other, and he himself did not return to the Legislative Council building or the CITIC Council after that night.

He also said that the next day, Tuesday (4th), he and his assistant had interviewed applicants. They wore masks during the whole process. In addition, he had received two doses of the vaccine. He believed that the risk was not high. The office will conduct tests to protect everyone and report them as soon as they know that they have been in contact."

According to the Legislative Council webpage, Chen Zhongni’s CITIC Conference Office is located in Room 1524, while Lin Lin and Huang Yinghao, both of the DAB, are located in Room 1520 and 1521 respectively. It is believed that the assistants of many members of the party must share an open workspace. Chen Zhongni pointed out that his proposal is a "self-contained role" and should not have much impact on others.
