勞工處亦同時以試點方式，向參加這些就業計劃的合資格年長人士、青年人及殘疾人士發放留任津貼，鼓勵他們接受及完成在職培訓，從而穩定就業。
LD also launched a pilot scheme concurrently to encourage eligible elderly persons young people and persons with disabilities to participate in and complete OJT under the above employment programmes through the provision of a retention allowance thereby stabilizing employment
僱員再培訓局過去3年每年均吸引逾10萬名學員報讀培訓課程。
The Employees Retraining Board ERB attracted more than 100 000 trainees annually to enrol in its training courses in the past three years
為支援受經濟下行影響的失業或就業不足人士提升技能，政府委託再培訓局於去年10月推出"特別․愛增值"計劃，為學員提供為期兩至3個月的免費培訓課程。
To support the unemployed or underemployed affected by the economic downturn for skills enhancement the Government has commissioned ERB to launch the Love Upgrading Special Scheme in October 2019 offering free training courses of around two to three months for trainees
政府已協助再培訓局於2020年5月開始，把學員的每月最高津貼額由4,000元增加至5,800元；並委託其於2020年7月推出第二期特別計劃及落實一系列優化措施，包括增加培訓課程選擇至約300項，支援企業及商會為開工不足或放取無薪假期的僱員或會員機構員工提供在職培訓等。
The Government has assisted ERB in raising the maximum amount of the monthly allowance per trainee from 4,000 to 5,800 starting from May 2020 and tasked it to launch Phase 2 of the Special Scheme and introduce a series of enhancements in July 2020 including increasing the number of training courses to about 300 as well as supporting enterprises and trade associations in arranging their employees or staff of member companies who are underemployed or taking no - pay leave to attend courses under this Special Scheme etc
若有需要，政府可考慮再次延伸特別計劃。
Where necessary the Government may consider further extending the Special Scheme
此外，綜合社會保障援助計劃一直為有經濟困難的人士提供安全網，以協助他們應付生活上的基本需要。
Furthermore the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance CSSA Scheme has been serving as the safety net for those who cannot support themselves financially to meet their basic needs
這個安全網的重要作用在經濟下行時尤其明顯。
This important function is particularly visible during economic downturns
綜援計劃下亦有特別為健全人士提供就業支援服務。
The CSSA Scheme also provides employment support services for able - bodied persons
行政長官在2019年施政報告宣布一系列改善綜援計劃的措施，當中特別着眼於優化就業支援服務，除增加相關的特別津貼外，亦加強提供服務的機構與勞工處及再培訓局的協作，為合適的受助人提供更多職業培訓和就業選擇。
The Chief Executive has announced a series of improvement measures on the CSSA Scheme in the 2019 Policy Address with particular focus on enhancing the employment support services . Apart from increasing the relevant special allowance the collaboration among the service - providing organizations LD and ERB is also enhanced to provide more vocational training and employment choices to suitable recipients
另外，考慮到當前嚴峻的就業環境，政府在2020年4月獲得立法會財務委員會就防疫抗疫措施的撥款批准後，在綜援計劃下推行為期6個月的援助失業人士特別 計劃。
Meanwhile having regard to the present severe employment situation the Government has after securing funding approval from the Finance Committee FC of the Legislative Council on the anti - epidemic measures in April 2020 launched a six - month Special Scheme of Assistance to the Unemployed under the CSSA framework
根據這有時限的特別計劃的安排，適用於身體健全人士的資產上限由2020年6月1日起6個月內暫時上調100%，而他們家庭的自住物業的價值亦會按現行機制獲豁免計算作資產，為期12個月。
According to the arrangements under this time - limited Special Scheme the asset limits for able - bodied persons have been temporarily relaxed by 100 % for six months starting from 1 June 2020 . The value of their familys owner - occupied residential property will also be disregarded for a grace period of 12 months according to the established mechanism
政府隨後在2020年9月再獲財委會批准，把特別計劃延伸6個月至2021年5月31日。
The Government subsequently obtained approval from FC to extend this Special Scheme for another six months to 31 May 2021
事實上，自今年年初開始，綜援的失業個案數目顯著上升，在2020年1月至9月期間平均每月有16,864宗，較2019年同期的平均數字增加43%。
In fact there has been a significant increase in CSSA unemployment cases starting from the beginning of this year with an average of 16 864 cases per month from January to September 2020 which was 43 % higher than the average of the same period in 2019
2020年9月的綜援失業個案為19,024宗，更是過去6年的新高。
The number of CSSA unemployment cases in September 2020 was 19 024 which was the highest in the past six years
由此可見，綜援在幫助有短暫經濟困難的失業人士這方面，起了一定作用。
The above shows that CSSA is useful in assisting the unemployed who are facing temporary financial hardship
政府會密切留意情況，適時考慮為有需要的人士提供進一步的支援。
The Government will monitor the situation closely and will consider providing further assistance to persons in need in a timely manner
三 儘管海外個別地區曾就"全民基本收入"的倡議進行探討，但鑒於這些海外地區的經濟民情、公共財政或稅收制度跟香港特區迥然不同，他們的經驗未必適用於香港。
3 While some overseas jurisdictions have had looked into the initiative of Universal Basic Income given the vast differences in the socio - economic public finance and tax systems between these places and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR the experience gained by these regions may not be applicable to Hong Kong
特區政府的總體政策方向是，鼓勵及支援有工作能力的人通過就業自力更生，並致力提供合理和可持續的社會福利制度，讓有需要的人士得到適切援助。
The overall policy direction of the HKSAR Government is to encourage and support people capable of working to achieve self - reliance through employment while striving to maintain a reasonable and sustainable social welfare system to provide appropriate assistance to persons in need
在此前提下，政府沒有考慮在香港實施"全民基本收入"，亦未有進行相關研究。
Premising on this the Government has not considered implementing the Universal Basic Income in Hong Kong nor conducted any relevant studies on it
我指的是體育、藝術、音樂、舞蹈及電影等人文行業的從業員。
I am referring to those engaging in humanities industries such as sports arts music dance and film
對於人文或文藝創作行業，政府可能只是在統計中將他們歸類為"公共行政、社會及個人服務"或"其他行業"。
Humanities or artistic industries might have been classified as Public administration social and personal services or Other industries in the government statistics
我想問的是，究竟政府有否重視香港社會越來越多的自由職業者？
My question is Has the Government attached importance to the rising number of freelancers in Hong Kong?
他們為香港付出努力，當局有何政策幫助他們，以免扼殺香港一代的文化？
While these freelancers have made contributions to Hong Kong what policy the Government has put in place to assist them so as to avoid killing the culture of this entire generation in Hong Kong?
主席，在現行制度下，任何人如有經濟需要，均可透過社會福利制度獲得支援。
President the current social welfare system provides relief to people with financial needs
至於主體答覆所述的再培訓局培訓課程，不論是自由職業者、僱員，還是自僱人士，皆可參加。
As for the ERBs training courses mentioned in the main reply they are available to freelancers employees and the self - employed
主席，"保就業"計劃將於本月底完結，我想問政府，即將出現的結業潮和裁員潮估計會有多嚴重？
President the Employment Support Scheme ESS will come to a close at the end of this month . Can the Government tell me how serious the expected upcoming waves of business closures and layoffs will be?
主席，我非常同意局長的說法，現在最重要是令本港經濟復蘇。
President I totally concur with the Secretary that the most important task right now is to revive local economy
香港如要經濟復蘇，最重要是有序地跟內地通關，盡快採用健康碼，但因香港的確診數字未能"清零"，所以暫時不能通關。
The key to Hong Kongs economic recovery thus lies in the reopening of the border with the Mainland in an orderly manner as well as the rapid launch of a health code . Regrettably as the number of confirmed cases in Hong Kong has still not be reduced to zero the border cannot be reopened for the time being
局長，雖然政府為不同組群訂立了相應政策，但對於畢業生，政府似乎沒有特別關注他們"畢業變失業"的問題。
Secretary although the Government has formulated policies for different groups of workforce it does not seem to care much about fresh graduates who are likely to become unemployed upon graduation
請問局方會否積極主動地與商界合作，推動實習計劃，以免畢業生"畢業變失業"？
Will the Bureau proactively cooperate with the business sector to promote internship programmes so that fresh graduates will not become unemployed upon graduation?
又或會否協助他們在大灣區尋找合適職位，讓他們有機會了解內地的發展？
Or will the Bureau help fresh graduates look for suitable jobs in the Greater Bay Area so that they can learn about the development of the Mainland?
主席，大家可從主體答覆附件的表三看到，本年第二季及第三季新增的失業人士，主要是本屆畢業生，包括文憑、副學位和學位畢業生，增幅相當明顯。
President as indicated in Table 3 in the Annex to the main reply the surging number of the newly unemployed in the second and third quarters of this year are mainly fresh graduates including diploma sub - degree and degree graduates
我們會不斷探討，如有任何新措施，將會適時公布。
We will continue to conduct studies and will announce new initiatives in a timely manner
主席，本港的失業問題恐怕將會持續。
President the unemployment problem in Hong Kong is likely to persist
即使當局早前寬宏大量，把申領綜援的資產上限調高一倍，三人家庭的資產上限亦只是132,000元，四人或以上家庭的資產上限則是176,000元。當局為何要求中產或基層家庭的資產跌至10多萬元才以綜援來幫助他們？
Given that the Government has generously doubled the CSSA asset limits earlier on bringing the asset limit of a three - member family to 132,000 and the limit of a family with four or more members to 176,000 why does the Government require middle - class or grassroots families to deplete their assets to 100,000 or so before they are eligible to apply for CSSA?
主席，我想問局長，究竟何時才肯考慮推出失業援助金？
President may I ask the Secretary when he will consider introducing unemployment assistance?
在職家庭津貼方面，可否豁免工時要求，容許在短期內特事特辦，以協助失業人士？
Regarding the Working Family Allowance WFA can the Government make a special arrangement to waive the working hour requirements for a short period of time so as to help the unemployed?
我剛才問局長，何時可以豁免在職家庭津貼的工時要求，以紓緩失業人士的經濟壓力？
My question for the Secretary is When can the working hour requirements for WFA be waived so as to ease the financial pressure of the unemployed?
對於非在職人士，我們會利用其他社會福利安全網援助他們。
For those who are not in employment other social welfare safety nets are available
主席，現時香港失業率達6.4%，是16年來最高。
President the unemployment rate of Hong Kong hits a 16 - year high of 6.4 %
政府多次表明不會推出失業援助金，但亦沒有推出其他措施協助失業人士。
On the one hand the Government has repeatedly stated that no unemployment assistance will be introduced; on the other hand it has not taken other initiatives to help the unemployed
在"保就業"計劃結束後，本港的失業情況預計會持續惡化，失業率將居高不下。
Upon the conclusion of ESS the unemployment problem in Hong Kong is expected to worsen and the unemployment rate will continue to stay high
羅致光局長一直不肯推出失業援助金。
Secretary Dr LAW Chi - kwong has all along refused to introduce unemployment assistance
至於如何協助失業人士，我們會不斷探討。
As for how we can help the unemployed we will continue to study this issue
主席，當失業率預計會節節上升，政府回應時提及的措施卻無甚新意。
President while the unemployment rate is expected to hike further the Government has failed to give any novel solutions to this problem in its response
主席，只要我一日是立法會議員，我便會全力爭取"林鄭"政府向全民"回水"最少1萬元。
President as long as I am a Council Member I will go all out to demand from the Carrie LAM Government a universal cash handout of at least 10,000
經濟現時受到疫情重創，貧苦大眾苦不堪言，我認為全民"派錢"天公地道。
As the economy is hard hit by the epidemic people are living in great distress; hence I think it is reasonable to hand out money to all people
主席，失業人數不斷飆升，我相信主體答覆列表所示的第三季數字可能尚未計入國泰航空今次的裁員人數。
President the number of unemployed persons is escalating and I do not think the figures of the third quarter as shown in the tables attached to the main reply has included the employees laid off by Cathay Pacific lately
我的補充質詢很簡單：當局如何保障港人就業？
My supplementary question is very simple How will the Government safeguard jobs for Hong Kong people?
很多市民已經失業。
Many people are now unemployed
他根本不打算協助失業市民，對嗎？
He simply has not thought of helping the unemployed at all is that right?
政府會適時提出甚麼措施？
What are the timely measures to be introduced by the Government?
主席，教育局早前取消一名小學教師的註冊，並向其任職學校的校長、副校長及相關教師發出譴責信或警告信。
President earlier on the Education Bureau EDB cancelled the registration of a primary school teacher and issued reprimand letters or warning letters to the principal vice - principal and relevant teachers of the school in which that teacher worked
有不少市民質疑教育局的做法有政治目的，亦有市民和教育界團體批評該處理投訴機制等同黑箱作業。
Quite a number of members of the public have queried that such a move by EDB carried a political purpose . Also some members of the public and bodies of the education sector have criticized that the complaint handling mechanism is tantamount to a black box operation
主席，局長的答覆令我非常失望，當中沒有提供所要求的數字和資料，非常空洞。
President I am very disappointed at the Secretarys reply . His reply is devoid of contents without providing the figures and information required
我特別想就着有關株連和連坐的問題提出補充質詢。
I especially want to raise a supplementary question on the issue of implication and collective punishment
局長在主體答覆否認有關做法是連坐或株連，但他 卻說："其他任教的教師，他們亦應有專業判斷，如果發現教案、教材和工作紙有問題，應向管理層提出，以作出補救。
While the Secretary denied in his main reply that such a move was collective punishment or implication he said As for other teachers teaching the topic they should have exercised their professional judgment and reported to the management when they found problems with the lesson plan teaching materials and worksheet so that remedial action could be taken
主席，這會令很多人無辜地要要為其他人的行為負上責任。
President many people will be wrongly held responsible for other peoples acts
我想問局長：教育局是否用相同的方式進行管理？
I wish to ask the Secretary Does EDB adopt the same method for management?
局長本人有否基於監管不力而受到處分？
Has the Secretary ever been disciplined due to his inadequate monitoring?
教育局究竟有多少人過去曾受到這樣處罰？
How many people in EDB had been punished in this way in the past?
局長，我想以制度和教育的角度來看這宗個案。
Secretary I wish to examine this case from the perspectives of the system and education
據報道，該名教師是體育科教師，沒有教授涉事的生活教育科，只因為熟悉時事，因此被該科的教師邀請協助編寫教材，當中提及"藏獨"、"疆獨"、"台獨"，連英國脫歐也提及。
It has been reported that the teacher concerned teaches Physical Education but not the Life Education subject in question . As he is familiar with current affairs he was invited by the teacher teaching Life Education to assist in preparing teaching materials which covered topics such as Tibet independence Xinjiang independence Taiwan independence and even Brexit
主席，我覺得局長今天在反駁歪理方面表現非常不錯。
President I think the Secretary has performed quite well in refuting specious arguments today
主席，儘管問題非常清楚，但不論是葉建源議員或香港教育專業人員協會，在核心問題上依然迴避。
President though the problems are crystal clear both Mr IP Kin - yuen and the Hong Kong Professional Teachers Union PTU are still averting the core problem
我想問局長如何回應這些歪理？
How will the Secretary respond to such specious arguments?
另一方面，韓國及台灣接連有居民在接種流感疫苗後不久身體不適或死亡的個案，懷疑與疫苗有關。
On the other hand there have been successive cases in Korea and Taiwan in which some residents felt unwell or died soon after receiving influenza vaccination which are suspected to be related to the vaccines
涉事藥廠之一為香港主要的疫苗供應商。
One of the pharmaceutical companies involved is a major vaccine supplier of Hong Kong
香港市民心情忐忑，一方面擔心無針可打，另一方面卻關注疫苗是否安全。
Hong Kong people are at sixes and sevens as they are worried that no vaccine is available for injection while they are concerned about the safety of the vaccines
代理主席，就柯創盛議員質詢的各部分，經諮詢衞生署後，我們的答覆如下： 一 個別海外地區早前曾有報告市民在接種流感疫苗後出現不良反應甚或死亡個案。經衞生署向世界衞生組織、相關地區的有關衞生當局，以及疫苗供應商進一步了解後，得悉有關當局認為未有證據顯示相關流感疫苗有安全風險。
Deputy President in consultation with the Department of Health DH consolidated reply to the various parts of the question raised by Mr Wilson OR is as follows 1 In relation to the earlier reports from certain overseas places of adverse reactions and deaths following influenza vaccination DH has liaised with the World Health Organization WHO the health authorities concerned at relevant places and the vaccine supplier and noted that relevant health authorities considered that there was no evidence on safety concerns of relevant influenza vaccines
韓國及台灣衞生當局已公布有關事件的調查結果。
Health authorities at Korea and Taiwan had also announced investigation results of relevant incidents
早前因應事件暫停接種相關疫苗的新加坡及馬來西亞亦已恢復疫苗接種計劃，而疫苗供應商亦確認涉及的相關流感疫苗的批次並沒有供應本港。
Singapore and Malaysia which had earlier suspended their relevant vaccination programmes due to these incidents have also resumed their vaccination programmes . DH also confirmed with the vaccine supplier that the influenza vaccine supplied to Hong Kong was of a different batch
衞生署會繼續密切留意有關事態發展，確保在流感疫苗的安全性和接種風險處於可接受水平的前提下進行疫苗接種計劃。
DH will continue to closely monitor the development and ensure the implementation of the vaccination programmes while maintaining the safety of influenza vaccines and risk of vaccination at an acceptable level
就疫苗接種計劃下的流感疫苗供應，衞生署已為2020-2021季度的疫苗接種計劃共訂購了878,000劑滅活流感疫苗，當中包括政府防疫注射計劃下628,000劑及"季節性流感疫苗學校外展—小學"下25萬劑，已分階段為合資格的高危群組人士提供免費疫苗接種。
For supply of influenza vaccine under vaccination programmes DH has procured a total of 878 000 doses of inactivated influenza vaccine for the 2020 - 2021 season vaccination programmes comprising 628 000 doses for the Government Vaccination Programme and 250 000 doses for the Seasonal Influenza Vaccination School Outreach ―Primary Schools for eligible high - risk groups to receive influenza vaccination free - of - charge in phases
相關疫苗供應商已承諾會確保政府訂購的疫苗供應保持穩定。
The vaccine suppliers have undertaken to ensure a steady supply of vaccines procured by the Government
按照過往一貫安排，參與疫苗資助計劃及"季節性流感疫苗學校外展─幼稚園、幼稚園暨幼兒中心及幼兒中心"的醫生會自行購買流感疫苗。
According to the established practice influenza vaccines for the Vaccination Subsidy Scheme VSS and the Seasonal Influenza Vaccination School Outreach ―Kindergartens Kindergartens - cum - Child Care Centres and Child Care Centres would be procured by participating doctors
鑒於近日市民對季節性流感疫苗需求殷切，而全球流感疫苗供應緊張，所以，政府已於10月22日公布會額外採購疫苗，並為有需要的公私營合作學校外展隊及參與疫苗資助計劃的醫生分階段額外供應10萬劑疫苗，以便更早及更便利流感高危群組接種流感疫苗，並藉此紓緩私人醫療市場流感疫苗供應緊張的情況。
In view of the keen demand for seasonal influenza vaccines by members of the public recently and its tight supply around the world the Government announced on 22 October that it would procure additional vaccines as well as provide an additional 100 000 doses of vaccines in phases to Public - Private - Partnership Team which provides vaccination for schoolchildren and doctors enrolled in VSS which require the vaccines . This facilitates high - risk groups to receive vaccination early and helps relieve the tight supply in the private healthcare sectors
衞生署早前已聯絡超過1,600位參與"2020-2021季節性流感疫苗學校外展"及疫苗資助計劃的醫生，查詢他們對季節性流感疫苗的需求和通知他們相關的安排。
DH has earlier contacted more than 1 600 doctors who have enrolled in the 2020 - 2021 Seasonal Influenza Vaccination School Outreach and VSS on their demands for seasonal influenza vaccines and to inform them of the relevant arrangements
另外，民政事務總署亦將在18區分配額外提供的流感疫苗，由非政府機構及夥拍參與疫苗資助計劃的醫療機構/醫生/診所的地區團體，為市民接種流感疫苗。
Separately the Home Affairs Department will allocate additional influenza vaccines to non - governmental organizations and district organizations partnering with healthcare facilitiesdoctorsclinics enrolled in VSS across the 18 districts to provide influenza vaccination for the public
有關分配工作正在進行中，預計在2020年12月內完成。
The allocation exercise is currently under way and is expected to be completed in December 2020
就私人醫療市場的疫苗供應，衞生署一直與疫苗供應商保持聯繫，並得悉2020年11月中旬至下旬有新一批約85,000劑流感疫苗運到香港，供應本港私人醫療市場。
Regarding the supply of vaccines in the local private healthcare sector DH has been closely in touch with the vaccine suppliers and noted the arrival of a new batch of influenza vaccines of around 85 000 doses in mid to late November 2020 for supply to local private healthcare sector
我藉此機會告訴局長，其實香港今次真的很幸運，該種特別的疫苗沒有供應香港，但我認為意外是"一宗也嫌多"。
However I would take this opportunity to tell the Secretary that Hong Kong is really very lucky for not getting the supply of that particular kind of vaccine but I think even one accident is too many
現時新冠狀病毒疫情嚴峻，流感疫苗的供應真的十分緊絀，市民難以接種。
At present the Coronavirus Disease epidemic is severe but given the tight supply of influenza vaccines the public can hardly receive vaccination
局長剛才說，政府總共預訂了963000劑疫苗來應付需求。
The Secretary said that the Government had procured a total of 963 000 doses of vaccines to meet the demand
當局如何確保疫苗的安全？
How do the authorities ensure the safety of vaccines?
代理主席，衞生署非常關注疫苗或所有註冊藥物的安全性、品質和療效。
Deputy President DH is actually very concerned about the safety quality and efficacy of vaccines and all registered pharmaceutical products
凡此種種，我們全部也會檢視。
We would check all these
同時，在疫苗出廠前，疫苗生產商亦要進行一些抽驗的程序。他們會遵循本身國家所設有的制度進行檢測，以及按照世衞的一些指引來發放疫苗。
Meanwhile before the vaccines are released the manufacturers must conduct sampling checks according to the system in place in their countries and comply with WHO guidelines
如是，這會涉及本會事宜，我認為這一刻代理主席應該運用你的權力先暫停會議，以處理本會事宜。
If so the matter concerns this Council and I think Deputy President you should exercise your power to suspend the meeting to deal with this business
就鄭松泰議員剛才提出的規程問題，請秘書處人員盡快取得相關資料。
With regard to the point of order raised by Dr CHENG Chung - tai will staff members of the Secretariat obtain the relevant information as soon as possible
本會現在先繼續處理這項口頭質詢。
This Council will continue to deal with this oral question first
局長，我聽聞市面上有些檢測技術可在1小時內得出結果，請問政府有否就這方面作出了解及研究？
Secretary I heard that some testing techniques available in the market can provide test results within one hour . May I ask if the Government has looked into the matter and conducted studies?
如果確有這些技術，政 府會否在陸路口岸物色地方設置相關設施，以便未來與內地通關之用？
If such techniques are really available will the Government identify spaces at the land boundary control points to set up relevant facilities so as to facilitate the future movement of people between the two places?
現時市面上有很多不同的2019冠狀病毒病快速測試技術，而衞生署公共衞生化驗服務處所採用的新型冠狀病毒病快速測試試劑，主要是由處內的科學團隊研發的。
There are various kinds of rapid test techniques for COVID - 19 available in the market and the rapid test kit for COVID - 19 currently used by DHs Public Health Laboratory Services Branch is mainly developed by the in - house scientific research team
我們現已不斷改進內部研發的測試，亦會評估市場上的商業測試，或本地或海外研究人員正在開發的測試。
Apart from constantly improving the self - developed in - house testing we will also evaluate commercial tests available in the market or under development by local or overseas researchers
主席，政府現時的工作重點是把防控疫情和管理感染的工作納入成為社會日常運作的新常態，務求盡量減少新增個案。
President the Governments priority at the moment is to incorporate disease prevention and control and infection management into the new normal of the day - to - day operation of society with an aim to minimizing new cases as far as possible
按照"外防輸入，內防擴散"的原則，我們一方面於各出入境口岸嚴格實施防疫管制措施，包括對入境旅客進行檢測、檢疫，遏止任何病毒進入社區的機會。
Adhering to the principle of preventing the importation of cases and the spreading of the virus in the community on one hand we have strictly implemented epidemic control measures at various boundary control points including testing and quarantine for inbound travellers to suppress any chance that the virus might enter the community
另一方面，我們繼續根據"早發現、早隔離、早治療"的原則，實施各項疫情防控措施，包括病毒監測、群組檢測、社交距離限制等，以防止病毒在社區傳播。
On the other hand we have continued to implement various prevention and control measures including monitoring and surveillance targeted group testing social distancing measures etc in accordance with the principle of early identification early isolation and early treatment of the infected to prevent the spread of the virus in the community
政府一直視乎疫情實施適當的跨境管制措施，嚴防輸入2019冠狀病毒病個案。
The Government has been implementing suitable cross - boundary control measures having regard to the epidemic situation to prevent importation of COVID - 19 cases
現時本港已經限制非本港居民的外籍人士入境，但仍有本港居民持續從全球不同地方回港，不少回港人士來自疫情嚴峻的地方，輸入病毒及患者的風險一直存在，對本地疫情防控造成重大壓力。
Although we have now restricted the entry of foreigners who are non - Hong Kong residents there are still local residents who continue to return to Hong Kong from abroad and quite a number of them are returning from places with severe epidemic situations . The continued risk of importation of the virus and infected patients has created considerable strain on disease prevention and control in Hong Kong
在全球疫情仍然肆虐的情況下，本港於未來一段時間仍需持續嚴格實施入境檢測檢疫安排，同時亦必須按實際需要容許有限度出入境人流並落實風險管控措施。
As the epidemic is still rampant across the globe Hong Kong will need to continue to strictly implement entry testing and quarantine arrangements for some time . At the same time we must allow limited cross - boundary people flow having regard to actual needs with the implementation of risk control measures
就盧偉國議員質詢的各部分，經諮詢創新及科技局，我的回應如下： 一 現時所有於香港國際機場抵港的人士，均須接受2019新型冠狀病毒檢測。
In consultation with the Innovation and Technology Bureau our reply to the various parts of the question raised by Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok is as follows 1 At present all persons arriving at the Hong Kong International Airport HKIA are required to undertake testing for COVID - 19
我們將會研究試驗期間收集到的數據，評估該檢測技術的成效和應用於不同用途的可行性，包括為入境旅客進行檢測方面的用途。
We will study the data collected from the trial and assess the efficacy of the testing technique and the feasibility for applying it to different uses including testing for arriving passengers
在物色快速檢測技術方面，政府及香港機場管理局對於任何有潛力達到足夠靈敏度及特異度而適用於入境篩查檢測的檢測技術持開放態度。
As regards the identification of rapid test technologies the Government and the Airport Authority Hong Kong are open to any testing technologies that have the potential in achieving a level of sensitivity and specificity suitable for boundary screening purposes
