Hong Weimin, a representative of the Hong Kong People's Congress, broke out at the birthday party. Many senior officials and parliamentarians were listed as close contacts and were required to go to Penny's Bay for quarantine, including the Director of Home Affairs Xu Yingwei, the Commissioner of Police Xiao Zebian, and the Director of Immigration Ou Jiahong.

Tan Yaozong, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said that although the Mochizuki Tower group had been exposed on the day of the incident, the social atmosphere was not serious, and the participants might relax. He did not know whether the government had reminded officials to pay attention to the risk of the epidemic.


As for whether there are officials to be held accountable, Tan Yaozong said that the relevant officials have apologized and are now required to do a good job of tracking and quarantine.

Regarding the request for Xu Yingwei to step down, Tan Yaozong, who is a DAB conference advisor, escorted the party members. He pointed out that there is no need at present. The chief executive has indicated that he will take action. He also believes that Xu Yingwei has returned to the epidemic prevention regulations in an irregular manner and is not serious enough to leave his post.


Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said at a press conference earlier that principal government officials should set an example and try to avoid attending risky private gatherings. She was disappointed with Xu Yingwei.

Xu Yingwei issued a statement to apologize to the central government, the chief executive, the accountability team, colleagues in the Home Affairs Bureau and the citizens of Hong Kong. He also said that he must be responsible for his wrong actions. He would also learn from the rules and be quarantined.

About 170 people attended the Hong Weimin birthday party, including 13 government officials and 20 legislators.

The government announced today that all attendees must be quarantined, and their home contacts must also be quarantined for a short period of time.

Xu Yingwei was accused of taking off the hood at Hong Weimin’s birthday party and chatting on the same day.
