A spokesman for the Chief Secretary for Administration's Office said today (February 28) that the Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr John Lee, had completed his home quarantine as a close contact and returned to office for work today.

     The spokesman said that Mr Lee had undergone home quarantine in accordance with the "StayHomeSafe" Scheme since February 16. With reference to the Department of Health's latest guidelines on home quarantine for close contacts, persons who have received at least two doses of COVID-19 vaccine may conduct rapid antigen tests (RAT) on Day 6 and Day 7 of their home quarantine period. If they test negative upon taking the RAT on these two consecutive days (or any two consecutive days thereafter), their quarantine will be considered as completed upon obtaining the second negative result. Mr Lee conducted his RAT yesterday and today and both results are negative. He has therefore completed his home quarantine and returned to office for work today.
