The following is issued on behalf of the Legislative Council Secretariat:
 
     As the COVID-19 outbreak is getting more severe in Hong Kong, a lot of people performing duties, staying or gathering in the Legislative Council (LegCo) Complex will increase the risk of spreading of the virus. After discussion with representatives of Members, the President of LegCo, Mr Andrew Leung, has decided that the scheduled Council meeting on Wednesday (April 1) will not be held. The items originally to be dealt with at that meeting will be carried over to a future Council meeting.
