Outgoing chief executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said they are doing everything they can to create favorable conditions for it to happen, including strictly following the Covid restrictions. Lam reiterated yesterday that she would not significantly relax existing social distancing measures during her tenure, which ends in two weeks. Rather, social distancing measures will mostly be carried forward for another 14 days from tomorrow. Lam also said that the pandemic situation in Hong Kong is currently under control. While robberies, burglaries, woundings and serious drug crimes have declined, homicides, frauds and other crimes have become more prevalent.
