Pro-democracy legislator Dennis Kwok, vice-chairperson of the House Committee, announces:
1) He has the right to chair the House Committee meetings. Starry Lee's chairing of the meeting as the "former chairperson" and a candidate for the role of "chairperson" is illegal and violates the house rules of the Legislative Council.
2) Denounces pro-Beijing legislator Aron Kwok's physical assault on pro-democracy legislator Ray Chan by dragging him across the chamber.
3) He has instructed security to expel Starry Lee from the chamber, but security did not follow his instructions, and instead only followed Lee's orders.
4) The expelled pro-democracy legislators can now re-enter the chamber.

Shopper fined by police for violating "social distancing guidelines" despite shopping by himself
Mr. Yeung, a passer-by who was fined HK$2000 for "violating social distancing rules", tried to get an explanation from the police, to no avail. A policewoman threatened him, yelling at him and telling him to go to court if he felt he was treated unjustly.
Mr. Yeung explained to journalists that he was shopping alone in Mong Kok and was on his way to the bus station back home, when police suddenly cordoned off the street he was in. He was stopped and searched, and issued a HK$2000 fine for "gathering with others in violation of social distancing guidelines". Mr. Yeung showed the police his shopping receipts and explained that he was by himself, but police rejected his argument.
