I would expect her to stay in Govt House to avoid putting strain on medical resources.

Come on people, keep with the news

You don't go to PB if you're a close contact anymore

Oh - agree. I was assuming that given how infectious Omicron is, that everyone in that meeting this morning will get the bug.

here's hoping the CE will start masking up in the pressers now.

What about the journalists at the Press Conference? Aren't they at risk too? Because Carrie Lam choose not to wear a face mask...well she herself is a potential spreader now. And to think she told off the journalists for asking her why she insist on not wearing a face mask...

Preliminary positive case in CE's office - found when he/she did the pregnancy test.

They join John Lee's helper and Regina Ip's driver in the list of VIP employees / close contacts.
