Medical Association: Coronavirus outbreak yet under control
Dr Choi Kin, former president of the Hong Kong Medical Association, criticized the World Health Organization's claim that there is no need to wear a mask when there is no signs of illness is inappropriate. Choi countered that there had already been many "Invisible patients" spreading the virus, if people do not wear masks, the outbreak will not stop. He doubted, "I am not sure whether the government has exercised their independent thinking, and it is not necessary to follow the WHO recommendations word by word blindly".
When taking a group photo, Choi, the only person in the audience wearing a black mask suddenly showed pro-democracy protest slogan "five demands, not one less" by raising 5 fingers on one hand and one on the other.

HK Government Awards Quarantine Center Construction Contract to China State-owned Company Without Tending Process
Instead of completely closing the borders with China, the Hong Kong Government continued to build temporary quarantine facilities in the city. A government plat at Penny Bay with a contract worth HKD190 million was awarded to China Habour Engineering, by-passing regular tendering process.
China Habour Engineering is a subsidiary of China Communications Construction, a PRC state-owned enterprise.
Hong Kong government officials claimed that awarding contracts without the regular tendering process was necessary due to the "urgency of the project" and insisted that the process complied with relevant rules.
Legislative Council Member, Chu Hoi-dick challenged the government's decision, as any project exceeding HKD30,000,000 will need the approval of the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, the government is suspected of violating the law and breaching the independence of the three arms of the administration.
