Government halts District Council's distribution of Anti-epidemic Kits
Pro-democracy Councilor: “Politics overriding human lives”
The Wanchai District Council began the distribution of disinfectant packs from this week. However, the Home Affairs Department suddenly called off the campaign, claiming that the distributed brochures contained wrong information, as the “Wuhan Pneumonia” wordings printed on them should be corrected to “COVID-19”.
Chairwoman of the Wan Chai District Council Clarisse Yeung Suet-ying believed that such an action from the Home Affairs Department conveyed the message that citizens’ lives were worth nothing compared to political duty.
Yeung stressed that the major targets of the the packs were singleton elderly and families with low income, and the distribution campaign could not be halted only because of a name.
