Hong Kong is united in its fight against Covid-19 and will continue adjusting measures as needed, Health Secretary Lo Chung-mau said on Sunday, dismissing assertions of a debate in the government over when to end hotel quarantine.
Chief Executive John Lee and his team share common goals in dealing with the pandemic, Lo said in a lengthy blog post on the Health Bureau’s website. In an apparent reference to a Bloomberg News report last week, he criticized the “foreign media” for saying government officials aimed to lift hotel quarantine for arrivals in November, but that some in the administration -- including himself -- weren’t all in agreement.
