The Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, will hold a regular press conference every morning starting today (March 9) to explain the latest epidemic prevention measures. During this period, he changed his habit of nearly a year and did not take off his mask during the whole process.
Carrie Lam described it as an enhanced version of the press release. Except for the reporter session before the executive meeting every Tuesday, the rest of the day is fixed at 11:00 a.m. She presides over it herself, and explains the progress of the epidemic work together with the relevant bureau chiefs.
Carrie Lam pointed out that as the coach of the fight against the epidemic, she is very willing and duty-bound to explain the changes of the epidemic to the society. "My ability to explain will continue to improve, and I hope to answer everyone's questions accurately." She also pointed out that she hopes that the fight against the epidemic will start sooner. The better you win, the more you won't need to hold such press conferences: "So I believe that everyone doesn't want to see me fighting all day long. If you haven't seen me earlier, that means Hong Kong has returned to normal life."
Four-and-a-half o'clock technical new arrangement can provide authoritative statement
Carrie Lam jokingly pointed out at the press conference that because of the adjournment of the Executive Council, everyone has recently "rarely seen me." But in the future, there will be regular press conferences every day, which will be hosted by herself. Lam Cheng explained that the battle against the epidemic is currently underway. I believe that citizens want to know what the real-time "battle situation" is like, what factors will affect the improvement of the "battle situation", and what changes in strategy will affect them personally.
Carrie Lam pointed out that the daily press conference at 4:30 p.m. is relatively technical, and noticed that there are some issues that have gone beyond their scope of responsibility recently, such as universal testing.
She hopes that the press conference can clarify rumors and provide a more authoritative statement. The media will also have the opportunity to ask questions about the anti-epidemic measures. The media are welcome to report issues of public concern to the Information Services Department.
Carrie Lam: I hope I can answer questions accurately by improving my interpretation skills
Carrie Lam pointed out that since the fifth wave of the epidemic, including the press conference on the epidemic at 4:30 pm every day, he has held 100 tricks, and he has hosted 20 of them: "As the coach of the fight against the epidemic, I am very willing to, It is my duty to explain the changes in the epidemic to the society. My ability to explain will continue to improve, and I hope to accurately respond to your questions.”
Since May last year, Lam has not worn a mask at indoor press conferences and during the question-and-answer session of the Legislative Council.
In January this year, in response to a reporter's question, she said that not wearing a mask is not for personal reasons, but to fulfill the duty of the chief executive, so that the public can clearly receive information and feel their emotions, so she will only take it off when she speaks publicly to the media and in the Legislative Council. Facial mask.
Hong Kong people need to clearly listen to the Chief Executive's speech, receive the message, and maybe even feel my emotions... I am the head of the SAR. If I wear a mask when speaking, the citizens will not be able to appreciate the emotions conveyed by the Chief Executive. , feel my mood, now I'm very worried, so I won't laugh at you and speak lightly.
