Nandu reporter learned from the official website of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council that on February 10, the spokesperson of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council said in response to a reporter's question on Hong Kong's fight against the fifth wave of the epidemic that the fifth wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong was menacing and had a serious impact on the safety and health of citizens, the economy and people's livelihood, and the central government was highly concerned about it. Recently, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office has repeatedly conveyed the central government's concern about the epidemic in Hong Kong and the condolences to Hong Kong compatriots to Chief Executive Carrie Lam and relevant officials of the SAR Government, and said that the mainland will fully support Hong Kong in fighting the fifth wave of the epidemic and support the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government in taking decisive measures to resolutely curb the momentum of the spread of the epidemic.
The spokesman said that the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office is actively coordinating with the People's Government of Guangdong Province to coordinate the joint prevention and control of the epidemic in Guangdong and Hong Kong and to ensure the transportation of cross-border materials, so as to ensure the supply of vegetables, fresh food and other daily necessities in Hong Kong. The People's Government of Guangdong Province and the People's Government of Shenzhen Municipality are anxious about the urgent needs of hong Kong compatriots and have made many special arrangements for this purpose.
The spokesman pointed out that the Central Government will continue to fully support the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in adhering to the concept of people first and life first, and jointly do a good job in preventing and controlling the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in accordance with the goal and strategy of "dynamic zero clearance". In times of crisis, the motherland will always be the strong backer of Hong Kong. As long as Hong Kong has a request, the motherland will certainly respond. The daily necessities of Hong Kong citizens will certainly be protected in a timely and adequate manner. The people of the mainland and Hong Kong compatriots will be able to defeat the epidemic at an early date, hand in hand.
The spokesman also said that in accordance with the relevant decision-making and deployment of the central government, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office will hold the second special exchange meeting on the new crown pneumonia epidemic between the mainland and Hong Kong in Shenzhen in the near future, and work with the relevant responsible persons of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and the Guangdong Provincial People's Government, the Shenzhen Municipal People's Government, as well as relevant epidemic prevention experts in the mainland, to jointly study and formulate and implement policies and measures to support Hong Kong's epidemic prevention and control, ensure the supply of materials to Hong Kong, and maintain the overall stability of Hong Kong society.
