MORE CHINESE MEDICINES ARRIVE IN HK

A new batch of 100,000 boxes of anti-epidemic proprietary Chinese medicines donated by the nation is arriving in Hong Kong in batches, the Commerce & Economic Development Bureau said today.

The bureau noted that the task force of ensuring medical supplies led by Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Edward Yau has been working closely with its Mainland counterparts.

At a donation ceremony today, Mr Yau expressed gratitude to the central government for its care of Hong Kong's anti-epidemic work and providing a large quantity of proprietary Chinese medicines and other medical supplies for fighting the epidemic.

Mr Yau said that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government is distributing the Chinese medicines and other supplies through Hong Kong Community Anti-Coronavirus Link to members of the public in need.

The task force will receive a total of 450,000 boxes of anti-epidemic proprietary Chinese medicines, including the new batch arriving in Hong Kong progressively.

Among them, 170,000 boxes have been given to Hong Kong Community Anti-Coronavirus Link and other local organisations for distribution to the community.

The remaining proprietary Chinese medicines delivered to Hong Kong are being distributed to those receiving treatment at 18 Chinese medicine clinics under the Hospital Authority and people who tested positive at isolation facilities.
