ExCo Non-official Members distribute surgical masks to elderly (with photos)
****************************************************************************
The following is issued on behalf of the Executive Council Secretariat:
 
     Non-official Members of the Executive Council (ExCo Non-official Members) Mr Chow Chung-kong, Mr Jeffrey Lam, Mr Ronny Tong and Mr Kenneth Lau joined representatives of Yan Oi Tong, Tung Wah Group of Hospitals and Pok Oi Hospital today (February 28) and yesterday (February 27) to visit and distribute surgical masks to the elderly in Tai Hing Estate in Tuen Mun, Pak Tin Estate in Sham Shui Po and Tai Kei Ling Tsuen in Yuen Long.
 
​     The four ExCo Non-official Members distributed surgical masks, food, leaflets with health information and supplies to the elderly, learned about the impact of the epidemic on their daily lives, and extended to them their warm regards. They called on the public to maintain good personal hygiene to effectively prevent the spread of the disease.
 
​     The ExCo Non-official Members said that they were aware of the difficulties faced by the public in purchasing surgical masks, and therefore supported the Government’s recent decision in passing all surgical masks donated by charity and other people to non-governmental organisations for re-distribution to the elderly and grassroots families in need so that all could ride out the storm together.
