The outbreak of the epidemic in Kwai Chung Village has not stopped. Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor met with reporters before attending the executive meeting this morning (25th), saying that there were 226 confirmed and preliminary positive cases in Kwai Chung Village and more than 10 preliminary positive cases in Ha Kwai House. The government announced Xia Kui Building will also be enclosed for 5 days from today, and Yi Kui Building, which was originally enclosed and will be enclosed tomorrow, will be extended for two more days until the 28th of this month.
Lam also pointed out that it is initially believed that there is little chance of relaxing social distancing measures on the fourth day of the new year, and various departments are still evaluating whether to fine-tune the arrangements.

Seeing reporters without a hood Carrie Lam: Let everyone see my feelings
[10:30] When Carrie Lam answered the question, she personally explained the painting of not wearing a mask. She said that it was to perform the duties of the chief executive, so she only took it off when she was speaking to the media and at the Legislative Council, not for personal reasons.
She explained that only without a mask can she clearly express her message and emotions, so that the public can better understand the situation in Hong Kong, including seeing her worried but not smiling face at the moment.
[10:15] When asked about the progress of the investigation into Hong Weimin's birthday party incident, Carrie Lam said that the investigation has come to an end, and he hopes to explain to the society before the Lunar New Year, but it is not appropriate to disclose the status of individual officials.
Carrie Lam once expressed her disappointment with the Secretary for Home Affairs, Xu Yingwei. She said that she still holds the same opinion, but does not want to comment on individual cases piecemeal.
Carrie Lam stressed that the government has set high requirements for official accountability or civil servants, not only to be faithful and careful, but also not to cause embarrassment to the government.
[10:00] Lin Zheng pointed out that since yesterday, Kwai Chung Village had confirmed 226 cases and Chu Yang had reached 226 cases. Xia Kwai Building must be enclosed for 5 days from today, and the Yak Kwai Building operation must be extended for another 2 days.
She pointed out that Xia Kui Building itself has been closed and forced inspection, so it can be seamlessly connected. Once again, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the affected residents. The government will continue to improve the administrative arrangements. This operation has mobilized 1,800 colleagues.
She also took the initiative to explain that the unblocking of Qiankui Building on January 23 was a few hours later than other buildings, because the staff received a notification that there may be a positive case, and it will not be unblocked for safety reasons.
Lam also pointed out that the current daily testing capacity is about 100,000 times, and some days it even reaches 150,000 times. She is studying its sustainability. If she needs to seek help from the mainland, she will not resist. The epidemic situation in Hong Kong is very concerned.
She described that when there is a need, "everyone is a family", and the Guangdong Province has initially indicated to the Chief Executive's Office that if necessary, it can be raised.
The Hong Kong government has earlier tightened anti-epidemic measures in response to a new wave of epidemics, which will expire on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
Lam Cheng said that the current preliminary view is that there is little chance of a substantial relaxation, but the possibility of fine-tuning is being assessed.
She also emphasized that the current work is to intensify efforts to promote the "vaccine bubble", and believes that the number of vaccinations has continued to increase after the government introduced relevant measures.
