立法會秘書處在今年2月發表"推廣體能活動"的研究報告，報告提到，積極參與體能活動有助減低患上非傳染病的風險，例如患上乳癌和大腸癌的機會可減低21%至25%，而患上糖尿病和缺血性心臟病機會亦可以分別減低27%和30%。
The Legislative Council Secretariat released a research report on Promoting Physical Activity in February this year . The report mentions that being physically active can reduce the risk of non - communicable diseases such as breast and colon cancers by 21 % to 25 % and diabetes and ischaemic heart diseases by 27 % and 30 % respectively
報告引述衞生防護中心的數據，在2018-2019年度，本港成年人之中，每6個人就有1個人，即17%因為未符世界衞生組織的建議而被界定為缺乏體能活動，高於2014-2015年度的13%。
The report cites data from the Centre for Health Protection that in 2018 - 2019 one in six adults in Hong Kong or 17 % of them had insufficient physical activity based on the recommendation of the World Health Organization WHO up from 13 % in 2014 - 2015
超過九成的中小學生未有遵照世衞的建議，每天進行最少60分鐘中等至劇烈強度的體能活動。
More than 90 % of primary and secondary school students were found not meeting WHOs recommendation of having at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity daily
世衞對做運動是有建議的，世衞建議成年人每星期做150分鐘中等強度的體能活動。
WHO suggests that adults should engage in 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity every week and it is not so easy for busy people in Hong Kong to do this
我很想說一說會展的歷史為何，其實，可能一些年輕朋友未必知道。
I very much want to talk about the history of HKCEC about which some younger people may not know
當時，新世界與一間由它全資擁有的附屬公司寶利城有限公司簽訂了合約。
At that time New World signed an agreement with its fully - owned subsidiary Polytown Company Limited Polytown
主席，其實當時的文件有很多資料，不像現在每天開會都要拼命乞求局長提供那些所謂"很神秘、有很多商業資料、商業秘密、不能 讓大家知道"的文件。
Chairman a lot of information could be found in the papers back then but the situation is totally different now when we have to earnestly beg the Secretaries every day during meetings for those papers which are highly mysterious and contain too much commercial information and secrets to be disclosed to the public
其實，這是同一間商業公司簽訂的合約，而當時我們可從1994年財務委員會文件中看到合約中一些很重要的條款。
In fact this is an agreement signed by the same commercial company and we can see some very important clauses in it from a paper of the Finance Committee FC dated 1994
但是，現在我們要取得合約或要知道條款，可謂難過登天。
However it will be highly difficult for us to ask for a copy of the agreement or to learn about the clauses today
我今天要"招呼"的是民政事務局局長。
The person I would like to greet today is the Secretary for Home Affairs
他在2015年上任後的第一項政績，就是要把尖東海濱送給新世界發展有限公司，本來的星光大道不足夠，還要把本來好好的尖東海濱活化、翻新。
His first achievement after his assumption of office in 2015 was to give the East Tsim Sha Tsui harbourfront as a gift to New World Development Company Limited NWD for revitalization and refurbishment . The areas would not only cover the Avenue of Stars but also the East Tsim Sha Tsui harbourfront which was original in good conditions
以訛傳訛也好，翻看文獻也好，我們知道了"紅毛嬌街"得名的原因。
We come to learn the origin of Red - haired Kew Street through hearsay and literature review
那條街此後稱為"紅毛嬌街"，原因是這位嬌姐是服務"紅毛"，"紅毛"意思是外籍人士。
Since then the street was named Red - haired Kew Street for the reason that this girl served the red - haired or a foreigner
此外，為甚麼會有"背靠背"唐樓呢？
In addition how did back - to - back tenement buildings come about?
我記得在很多場合，記者或議員均就此提出問題。
I recollect that on many occasions journalists or Members raised questions in this regard
正如我早已經說了，有關的諮詢根本是假諮詢，因為根據法律的要求，當政府進行諮詢時，須沒有前設，沒有既定立場。
As I have said earlier the consultation has basically been bogus for according to the law there should be no premise and no preconceived idea when conducting consultation by the Government
劉江華擔任民政事務局局長至今，一直沒有做好工作，我希望他不要連任。
As LAU Kong - wah has not been doing a good job since he was appointed as the Secretary for Home Affairs I hope that he will not be reappointed
根本是梁振英慫恿房協做這種事，不光不彩，不知所謂。
LEUNG Chun - ying has basically abetted HKHS to do so . How disgraceful and despicable!
又有一名手無寸鐵的母親在"六一二"向警員呼籲停止攻擊年輕人，然後被警員"噴椒"。
An unarmed mother was pepper sprayed by the Police as she urged the Police to stop attacking young people
此外，有一名外國人坐在龍和道，沒有作出任何攻擊動作，但傳媒鏡頭卻拍攝到，他被警員近距離以催淚水劑噴射。
On Lung Wo Road a foreigner just sat down without making any moves to attack yet he was sprayed with pepper based solutions by the Police at close range . This scene was captured on media footage
我們三催四請，也等不到林鄭月娥成立獨立調查委員會，她拖了又拖，根本不願意面對現實。
Despite our urging and invitation Carrie LAM has yet to set up an independent commission of inquiry . She has been procrastinating as she is basically unwilling to face the reality
當時的場面對於經歷過的市民而言，至今可能仍然是一個創傷。
It was a traumatic experience for those who were at the scene on that day
立法會有責任履行職責，徹查"六一二"真相，找出元兇，還市民一個公道。
The Legislative Council is duty - bound to investigate thoroughly the truth of the 12 June incident find out the culprit and do justice to the public
我手上現時拿着一份武力使用指引，在第6章"行為及紀律"中，"6-01行為"的第四段清楚表明，警方如果向公眾人士使用粗言穢語，有機會被追究，受紀律處分。
I have the guidelines on the use of force in hand . It is clearly stated in paragraph 4 of the section 6 - 01 Conduct in Chapter 6 Conduct and Discipline that if a police officer swears at the public he may be held responsible and subject to disciplinary action
即使還未到8時，金鐘港鐵站附近地方已經擠滿市民，然後相繼擠滿添美道、龍和道、夏慤道、龍匯道等，即使9時連紅棉道和金鐘道也擠滿市民，即使警察開始使用催淚水劑、胡椒噴霧，這人也不死心，仍然繼續等待。
Even when there were crowds of people near Admiralty MTR Station and later Tim Mei Road Lung Wo Road Harcourt Road and Lung Wui Road etc . were packed with people before 8.00 am; even when the Cotton Tree Drive and Queensway were also packed with people at 9col00 am; and even if the Police started using pepper based solutions and pepper sprays this person still had not given up and adopted a wait - and - see attitude
可能大家注意力集中在警暴，但回顧事件，實在有一些比較有趣的地方、特別的地方，甚至正常人難以明白的地方，值得大家深究。
Perhaps all of us have focused on police violence . But looking back at the incident we found certain things interesting special and even hardly comprehensible to ordinary people and they are worth exploring
如果要數忠心耿耿，對政府的堅持，對開會的堅持，一定非席上坐在高位的梁君彥主席莫屬，建制派其他議員可以說是拍馬也追不上。
If we wish to identify who is loyal and devoted to the Government and insists on holding the meeting President Andrew LEUNG must be the one . It can be said that other pro - establishment Members can hardly catch up with him
我希望不要把真相掃入地氈底，要令香港有進步，有改變，便要從認錯，認清事實開始。
I hope that the truth will not be swept under the carpet and I believe that admitting mistakes and recognizing the facts are essential to allow Hong Kong to make progress and transform
我想問政府有何實際工作打擊這種以"假自僱"剝削的情況？
May I ask the Government of the practical actions it has taken to combat this kind of exploitation in the name of false self - employment?
主席，有關連續性僱用的問題，我希望局長能盡快將討論提交勞工顧問委員會，盡快有實際的推展......
President on the question of continuous contract of employment I hope the Secretary will bring up the subject for discussion at the Labour Advisory Board as soon as possible so that actual progress can be made expeditiously
主席，我有時候也覺得對不起我的選民和街坊，因為"拉布"令我沒有足夠時間接觸市民。
Chairman I sometimes feel that I have let my electors and kaifongs down because I do not have sufficient time to get in touch with the people as a result of filibustering
他們就削減政府開支提出的修正案，全部是攻擊政府的理由和藉口，而這些抗爭策略亦已證明並不成功。
The amendments which seek to reduce government expenditures are nothing but excuses to attack the Government and such tactics have been proved unsuccessful
我已刻意不就今次的預算案發言，因為我覺得要說的早已說清楚。
I have deliberately avoided speaking on the Budget as I have already clearly stated my position
我們也希望來屆政府可以做得更好，但卻絕對不會用這種無效的"拉布"方法，我希望在席議員共勉之。
We wish that the next - term Government would do better but we will definitely not resort to such an ineffective tactic of filibustering . I hope Members will bear this point in mind
就這個對香港很重要的發展機遇，為何反對派議員視若無睹，甚至每次提起這概念時，也只懂得冷嘲熱諷呢？
Regarding this important development opportunity to Hong Kong why would the opposition camp turn a blind eye to it and why would they resort to mockery whenever this concept is brought up?
本土經濟產業，有人提過嗎？
Has anyone talked about local economy and industries?
是否因為不懂經濟，所以他們對基建項目只會說3個字："大白象"、"大白象"、"大 白象"呢？
Is it because they do not know economics that they can only use the term white elephant white elephant and white elephant again to describe infrastructure projects?
當年公民黨鼓勵一些文化程度不高的婆婆和基層市民提出司法覆核，他們當然否認，但因打官司而受惠的全部是與公民黨有密切聯繫的大狀和律師，用的是納稅人的金錢，包括律師費和訟費，這不但延誤了港珠澳大橋的工程，而造價亦增加了65億元。
However all the barristers and solicitors involved in the court cases had close ties with the Civic Party . Indeed the costs of all these cases including solicitor fees and litigation charges were paid by taxpayers . These cases have not only delayed the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge project but also led to an increase in cost by 6.5 billion which is not a small amount
香港雖然有9,000多億元儲備，但如果我們不賺錢，不繼續增強本港的競爭力、經濟力量和經濟動力，終有一天會坐食山崩。
It is true that Hong Kong has a reserve of over 900 billion but if we do not make money and do not enhance our competitiveness economic power and economic impetus continuously we will end up in poverty
第一，所花的錢十分有限。
First only a limited amount is spent
這種"有錢便分掉"的思維，對我們的下一代是非常不負責任的。
This mindset of expending all surpluses is extremely irresponsible to the next generation
再者，本屆亦有不少已有改善之處，例如長者生活津貼已推出高額版本，增加至3,400多元，亦放寬了原有的申請資格等。
Indeed improvement has been seen in many aspects in this term . For instance a higher tier of assistance under the Old Age Living Allowance has been introduced raising the allowance to 3,400 - odd whereas the eligibility has been relaxed
我們並非滿足於這個階段，但絕對不能因噎廢食，全然否決一切。
We are not satisfied with the achievement at the present stage yet we definitely cannot throw away the apple because of the core and then veto all proposals
當然，反對派議員知道有我們在抗衡，所以他們便可以自在地做"騷"。
Of course Members from the opposition camp know for sure that we will stand up to such amendments and they can thus putting up a show freely
現時全球經濟也不穩定，各種地緣政治的風險、金融系統的風險，特別是在其他地方，例如美國濫發貨幣，會否引發貨幣危機呢？
The global economy is unstable right now with all kinds of risks in terms of geopolitics and in the financial systems . It is especially so in other places . The United States for example has over - issued its currency; will this trigger a currency crisis?
當香港變成全國防疫工作較弱的地方時，自然便難以通關。
And for Macao I am confident that it would be higher . As Hong Kong has become a weak link in the whole country in terms of epidemic prevention as a matter of course it will be difficult to resume traveller clearance
一日無法通關，我們的經濟便難以恢復，特別是旅遊業、飲食業和零售業。
As long as there is no traveller clearance it will be difficult for our economy to recover especially for the tourism catering and retail industries
各行各業的收入持續減少，工友即使仍有工作，他們的收入亦大不如前，積蓄已經所剩無幾，很多工友也要賒借度日。
In view of the persistently dwindling income in various trades and industries even though workers still have jobs they are not earning as much as they used to and they have very little savings left . Many of them have to borrow on credit to make ends meet
大家也知道，2019年"黑暴"至2020年的新冠疫情，我們這兩年也過得十分艱難，第一是由於社會動盪帶來的恐懼，第二就是疫情對我們健康和經濟的打擊。
As we all know we have had two very difficult years since the black - clad violence in 2019 to the COVID - 19 epidemic in 2020 . It is because of firstly the fear brought by social unrest and secondly the impact of the epidemic on our health and economy
所以，最理想的也是設立臨時的失業及停工現金津貼。
Therefore the most desirable way is to introduce a temporary cash allowance for unemployment and suspension of work
很多時候也是一家大小等着吃飯。
In most cases it is a whole family of young and old waiting to be fed
希望官員會真正急市民所急，用盡所有辦法，不論是全面性的失業及停工津貼，抑或是具行業針對性的津貼因為銀行業和旅遊業的情況便是相當慘淡的以及潘兆平議員在原議案提到的延長"百分百擔保個人特惠貸款計劃"，讓市民可以盡快渡過難關，多謝主席。
I hope officials will truly address peoples pressing needs by exhausting all ways and means be it a comprehensive allowance for unemployment and suspension of work industry - specific subsidies―as the banking and tourism industries have been faring very poorly―or continuation of the 100 % Personal Loan Guarantee Scheme proposed by Mr POON Siu - ping in his original motion so that people can tide over the hardship as soon as possible . Thank you President
當然，現在以美國為首的西方無耻政客會以此作為國寶，例如我經常談及的蓬佩奧等人，他們經常提到的盜竊、欺詐和謊言等，是他們引以為榮的事情，但當然不應成為世界主流。
Of course some shameless western politicians under the lead of the United States will consider it to be national treasure . One example includes POMPEO and the like whom I often mention . Theft deception and falsehood which they often talk about are something in which they take pride
主席。我一直讀教會學校，雖然我不是基督徒，但《聖經》十誡中的第九誡"不可作假見證陷害人"，我卻銘記於心。
President I received education from schools with a Christianity background all along . While I am not a Christian as such I have always kept in mind the ninth commandment of the Ten Commandments in the Bible which reads Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour
只要大家覺得"過癮"，便會傳一下；奇談怪論，又傳一下；為政治目的或利益，又傳一下。
As long as people find a piece of news interesting they will spread it around . When people hear some peculiar talks or uncanny theories they will spread them around . In the case of some others they spread fake news around simply for political purposes or benefits
香港也不例外，有傳言指"八三一"打死人、新屋嶺發生性侵、"爆眼女"爆眼但之後卻有神蹟出現，雙眼可以炯炯有神，她更開開心心前往其他地方。
Hong Kong is no exception in the sense that rumours have circulated that some people were beaten to death on 31 August; cases of sexual assault occurred in San Uk Ling Holding Centre and a girl suffered a rupture to her eyeball . But somewhat miraculously her eyes could become glistening again later on and she has even gone to another place very happily
我早前曾與香港青年事務發展基金會合作，該會在7月公布一份有關藝術科技產業發展的研究報告，探討香港在藝術發展方面的各項挑戰。
Earlier on I worked with the Hong Kong Youth Affairs Development Foundation by which a study report on the development of Art Tech industry was released in July to explore the various challenges in Hong Kongs art development
關於香港在國家"十四五"規劃下的定位，中外文化創意產業是其中一大重點。
As far as Hong Kongs positioning under the National 14th Five - Year Plan is concerned Chinese and foreign cultural and creative industries are among the main focuses
藝術的形式和發展從來離不開科技發展，科技令藝術走向更高增值，加入更多新元素，內容更豐富，從而好好發揮香港在系統整合上的優勢。
Art form and art development have always been inseparable from technological development . Technology enables art to move towards a higher value - added level adds more new elements and enriches its contents so as to give full play to Hong Kongs advantage in system integration
主席，按照針對2019冠狀病毒病"外防輸入，內防擴散"的策略，除入境管制、病毒檢測和社交距離等方面的措施外，我們亦落實了一系列預防措施，其中包括防範進口冷凍食品及其他貨物傳播病毒的風險。
President adhering to the strategy of preventing the importation of cases and the spreading of virus in the community with respect to COVID - 19 we have implemented apart from immigration control virus testing and social distancing a series of preventive measures including those safeguarding against the risk of virus transmission through imported frozen foods and other goods
截至2020年年底，食安中心已抽取超過1,300個相關樣本，化驗結果均為陰性。
As at the end of 2020 over 1 300 related food samples were collected for testing . The test results were all negative
截至去年12月底，已有超過2,200名持牌凍房的從業員接受2019冠狀病毒檢測，全部結果為陰性。
The testing service has been extended to practitioners of licensed cold stores since November 2020 . As at the end of December 2020 over 2 200 practitioners of licensed cold stores participated in the COVID - 19 testing scheme with all tested to be negative
食環署會繼續為持牌凍房從業員提供自願性免費檢測服務，曾接受檢測的人士亦可再次接受檢測。
FEHD will continue to provide voluntary and free testing service for practitioners of licensed cold stores . Persons who have undergone the tests are also entitled to be re - tested
另外，衞生署亦持續免費為機場員工，包括有機會接觸冷凍貨品的航空貨運站員工，安排2019冠狀病毒病檢測，每日提供的名額由原來的500個，已於今年1月4日起增至800個。
In addition the Department of Health continues to provide free COVID - 19 testing service for staff members of the Hong Kong International Airport including those working at air cargo terminals who may be in contact with frozen goods . The daily quota has increased from the original 500 to the current 800 starting from 4 January 2021
基本上，如果大家擔心的話，便不要進食。
Basically we should not consume the food if we feel worried
就黃碧雲議員質詢的各部分，經諮詢保安局、衞生署、環境保護署、食物環境衞生署、水務署及醫院管理局後，我現綜合回應如下： 一 市民有表達意見、言論及集會的權利，但必須以和平及合法方式進行。
In consultation with the Security Bureau the Department of Health DH the Environmental Protection Department EPD the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department FEHD the Water Services Department and the Hospital Authority HA consolidated reply to the various parts of the question raised by Dr Helena WONG is as follows 1 Members of the public have the right to expression speech and assembly
警方會繼續根據廠方及內部指引，安全地使用催淚煙。
The Police will continue to use tear gas in a safe manner in accordance with the guidelines issued by the manufacturer and internally
二 在大型公眾活動過後，食環署會在路面情況容許下，調派員工及街道潔淨服務承辦商員工，提供街道潔淨服務。食環署已向其員工和潔淨服務承辦商發出工作指引，當中包括清理化學物品殘留物需注意的事項及個人防護裝備。其中，指引訂明清潔工人在進行有關工作時需戴上口罩、橡膠手套、膠圍裙等。
2 After large - scale public order events FEHD would subject to road conditions arrange employees and cleansing service contractors
我們會繼續朝着這個方向，與業界和何俊賢議員探討可進行哪些可持續發展，又或有哪些新科技可為業界所接受，令他們有興趣一起進行發展。
We will continue to move in this direction and will examine with trade practitioners as well as Mr Steven HO to see what sorts of sustainable development we can pursue or what kinds of new technologies are acceptable to trade practitioners so that they will have interest in pursuing development together
代理主席，多謝何俊賢議員提出的質詢。
Deputy President thank you Mr Steven HO for the questions
代理主席，多謝謝偉銓議員的補充質詢。
Deputy President I thank Mr Tony TSE for his supplementary question
政府其實一直有支持農業的可持續發展，正如我剛才所說，在發展農業園和農業優先區時，尤其是在後者，當局已在研究過程中探討禽畜業的發展。
Actually the Government has all along been supportive of the sustainable development of local agriculture and as I mentioned earlier when studying the development of the Agricultural Park and Agriculture Priority Areas especially the latter we have already explored the development of the livestock industry in Hong Kong
代理主席，或許先由我作出回應，然後再請發展局副局長回應有關土地供應的問題。
Deputy President I will respond first and then followed by a response from the Under Secretary for Development on the issue of land supply
當然，根據現行機制，如因工務、收回清理的需要或其他私人原因收回土地，希望繼續營運的農戶需要自行另覓地方搬遷，例如購入或租賃私人農地等。
Certainly under the current mechanism should there be a need to resume land for public works projects land clearance or for other private reasons the affected farmers who wish to continue operating will have to look for suitable sites for relocation on their own such as acquiring or renting private agricultural land
我們會繼續參考大灣區的做 法，支持在加強食用農產品安全方面的合作，以及參與粵港澳出口食品農產品質量安全示範區及信譽農場的建設。
We will continue to make reference to the practice adopted in the Greater Bay Area support the cooperation aimed at enhancing edible agricultural product safety and participate in the development of national demonstration zones for the quality and safety of exported food and agricultural products as well as accredited farms in Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao
醫管局轄下18間急症室均設有清洗設施，協助受生化或有害物質污染的傷者進行清洗，醫護人員亦具備經驗處理有關個案。
Decontamination facilities are available at all 18 AE departments of HA for treating patients who have been exposed to biochemical or hazardous substances . Health care personnel are also experienced in treating these cases
衞生署及醫管局沒有備存相關求診個案數字及有關的發病率。
DH and HA do not maintain statistics of relevant attendances and incidence rates
根據有關分析，環保署並沒有發現在曾被施放催淚彈地區附近的監測站錄得的粒子水平出現異常的情況。
According to the analysis EPD did not find any anomalies in the PM levels recorded at the monitoring stations near the areas where tear gas was launched
或許讓我先作答，再由環境局局長補充。
Perhaps let me give a reply first . The Secretary for the Environment may add his views afterwards
大家也知道，世界各地的2019冠狀病毒病疫情仍然相當反覆和嚴峻，所以N95口罩全球仍然短缺。
As we all know the COVID - 19 epidemic is still quite volatile and severe across the globe so N95 respirators are still in short supply globally
我們非常感謝醫護及前線人員一直以來的重大付出，並會繼續優先照顧他們在防護裝備等方面的需要。
We are very grateful for the unfailing contributions from healthcare and frontline staff and will continue to accord priority to meeting their needs for protective equipment etc
就郭家麒議員的質詢各部分，經諮詢醫院管理局及財經事務及庫務局後，我現在答覆如下。
In consultation with the Hospital Authority HA and the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau my reply to the various parts of the question raised by Dr KWOK Ka - ki is as follows
主席，我亦要澄清，我們今次的答覆也是因應2019冠狀病毒病，而非其他名稱： 一 政府和醫管局一直以保障市民健康和保護香港醫療系統為首要考慮。
President I would like to clarify that our reply is made in relation to coronavirus disease 2019 COVID - 19 not the disease in any other name 1 The Government and HA always take the safeguarding of the health of the public and protection of Hong Kongs healthcare system as the top priority
2月3日至7日的工業行動曾經影響公立醫院的服務。就此，醫管局啟動了重大事故控制中心，密切監察各公立醫院的運作情況，並按服務需要調配人手和調節非緊急服務，以集中資源處理疫情和維持緊急醫療服務。
In response to the industrial action from 3 to 7 February which affected public hospital services HA activated the Major Incident Control Centre to closely monitor the operation of public hospitals and to deploy manpower and adjust non - emergency services with regard to service needs with a view to focusing resources on dealing with the epidemic and maintaining emergency medical services
政府和醫管局亦多次呼籲參與工業行動的醫護人員盡快返回工作崗位，避免影響公立醫院服務和病人治療。
The Government and HA also repeatedly urged healthcare staff participating in the industrial action to return to work as soon as possible to avoid affecting public hospital services and treatment of patients
醫管局得悉約有7,000名員工在上述期間的不同日子沒有按時上班。
HA noted that around 7 000 staff had not reported duty as scheduled on various dates during the above period
二 醫管局一直根據國際指引及專家建議，為醫護人員提供嚴格的感染控制指引及培訓，以防他們於工作時受到感染。
2 HA has been following international guidelines and expert advice in providing healthcare personnel with stringent infection control guidelines and training in order to safeguard them from infection at work
委員會的成員包括衞生署衞生防護中心、醫管局相關專科的統籌委員會、中央委員會和總部的代表，以及醫管局感染控制及傳染病專家。
Its membership comprises representatives from the Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health coordinating committees and central committees of relevant specialties and Head Office of HA as well as HAs experts on infection control and infectious diseases
由於醫管局在疫情初期對新型冠狀病毒病的致病源、特徵及傳播途徑的認識有限，故採用較高規格的個人防護裝備，以防病毒透過空氣傳播，但隨着疫情發展，國際間對有關病毒的了解增加，並確認其致病源主要透過接觸及飛沫傳播。
Since HA had limited knowledge about the pathogen characteristics and mode of transmission of the novel coronavirus infection at the onset of the outbreak personal protection equipment PPE of higher specifications was used in order to prevent airborne transmission . However as the outbreak developed the international community has gained a better understanding of the virus and confirmed that the pathogen SARS - CoV - 2 is mainly transmitted through contacts and droplets
因此，委員會在參考最新的國際建議、文獻的臨床實證和本地臨床經驗，並考慮全球個人防護裝備的供應情況後，修訂了醫管局的個人防護裝備建議。
CCIDER hence revised its recommendation on PPE for HA after making reference to the latest international recommendations clinical evidence in literature and local clinical experiences and having regard to the global supply of PPE
此外，醫管局已於1月下旬進行全球採購，並透過靈活的直接採購模式，務求盡快購入合適的保護裝備。
In addition HA proceeded with global procurement in late January through the flexible approach of direct purchase with a view to procuring the appropriate protective equipment soonest possible
政府物流服務署亦有向醫管局分享資訊和提供便利，以助其採購所需裝備。
The Government Logistics Department has also shared information with HA and provided it with facilitation to assist it in procuring the necessary equipment
林議員，在這方面，我們已加強工作。
Mr LAM we have already stepped up our work in this respect
議員或許記得，在2003年SARS爆發後的應變計劃中，當局預留了例如鯉魚門公園及度假村等較小型的度假村作為檢疫設施。
The Member may still remember that under the contingency plan drawn up after the SARS outbreak back in 2003 the authorities reserved certain holiday camps of a relatively small scale for use as quarantine facilities such as the Lei Yue Mun Park and Holiday Village
在常設設施方面，由於大家對於病毒的認識加深，而世衞和其他專家均認為，這病毒可能會與人類共存，而且亦不知道將來會否出現其他傳染病，因此檢疫設施是應付傳染病其中一種非常重要的手段。
Speaking of permanent facilities in view of peoples deepening knowledge of the virus the opinion of WHO and other experts that this virus is likely to coexist with human beings and also the uncertainty of whether other communicable diseases will emerge in the future I will say that the provision of quarantine facilities is one of the very important means to cope with communicable diseases
雖然本港的疫情現時稍為緩和，但在2019冠狀病毒病在全球大流行的情況下，外邊的疫情難以預料。
While Hong Kongs epidemic has slightly subsided by now the development of the epidemic outside Hong Kong is hardly predictable amidst a global COVID - 19 pandemic
大家或許留意到，有從高風險地區返港的人士需要接受檢疫，例如近日從巴基斯坦及印度等地返港的人士。
Members may have noticed that some returnees from high - risk regions are required to undergo quarantine such as those returning from Pakistan and India in recent days
