I am proud of the performance of the Hong Kong government in battling the Covid-19 pandemic and its decision to adopt and enforce stricter measures, including banning travellers from high-risk countries and locking down residential buildings for compulsory testing where confirmed cases of infections live or have visited. We have had no local case for at least 44 consecutive days.
