It’s impossible to summarize all the changes in one tweet, but Covid vaccination services will be reduced starting April 28. Click the link for the details.

A reminder that Apr 19 was the last day that people who do not belong to a priority group can get a booster dose for free https://twitter.com/hkgpress/status/1649002981508153344

The "Dr. Chuang Shuk Kwan 張竹君 Fanpage" on Facebook will come to an end on April 20th.

Anyone who followed the pandemic (me very much included) will know the tireless work Francis and Terence put in.

A salute to both.

{#COVID19HK} The moment all HK parents have been waiting for…

FROM THURSDAY 16 MARCH 2023:

🙌🏼NO MORE MANDATORY PRE-ARRIVAL RATs FOR STUDENTS
🙌🏼NO MORE MANDATORY TEMPERATURE SCANS FOR SCHOOL WORKERS & VISITORS

(New announcement from Education Bureau, as reported by i-Cable)

{#COVID19HK} Quick straw poll: around your neighbourhood/workplace: roughly what percentage of people around you still wear masks *outdoors*, just over a week after the general mandatory-wearing regulation was scrapped?

{#COVID19HK} I am aware of at least one competitor wearing a full face covering while competing out in a field event at last Friday’s final day of the 2022-23 HK & Kowloon Division 1 Inter-school Athletics, after mandatory outdoor masks ending 2 days earlier.

To each their own.

Lo Chung-mau:

"We - me and Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu - are just like parents in a family, there is a good one, and somebody needs to be the bad one."

The statement came after reported infighting between Lo and Lee.

There’s a sort-of intriguing judgment going on here: if it’s not about one’s level of “patriotism”, “political shade” or “sense of personal security”, it could be about “rationality” and “perspective”.

Except my door man who was unmasked and grinning like a three-year-old. 😁

It's official. Starting tomorrow the relevant sections of Cap.599f and Cap599i will be suspended from March 1st, meaning no more legal mask mandate in Hong Kong.

Note: both Cap.599f and Cap.599i will continue to exist.
