The nomination period for the chief executive election starts this Sunday (20th), and the political community is concerned about whether the election will be held as scheduled under the raging epidemic.
Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said before attending the Executive Council today (15th) that the election date for the chief executive will remain the same. The nomination period will start on the 20th of this month and the vote will be held on March 27th. However, due to the seriousness of the epidemic and the rapid spread, it is necessary to continue to review the epidemic prevention measures. Ask for more help, she won't rule out any possibility,

When asked whether she would seek re-election, Carrie Lam did not respond positively, only saying that the single goal at present is to lead Hong Kong, and called on the public to support the joint fight against the epidemic.
The Finance Committee of the Legislative Council will review the 6th round of the Anti-epidemic Fund this afternoon. Carrie Lam expressed that she believes that Members will support it and will implement the support as soon as the funding is approved.
Carrie Lam also did not wear a mask when she attended the press conference today. A reporter asked if she would be questioned if she failed to set an example in fighting the epidemic, and whether it would affect her work if unfortunately diagnosed, including the possibility of running for the chief executive.
Lam Cheng responded by saying that holding a press conference in the lecture hall of the Government Headquarters without wearing a mask had been considered, and she had explained it earlier, but she did not add.
She emphasized that she had taken adequate personal protection measures on other occasions, and she also wore two masks in the landing area a few days ago, hoping that the public should fight the epidemic with one heart and not dwell on this issue.
Carrie Lam responded to the issue of not wearing a mask several times earlier. She explained that she needed to distribute information to the public through the media. Removing the mask would allow the public to hear the relevant information clearly and feel her emotions at the same time.
