When talking about the latest situation of the epidemic, she said that the epidemic in Hong Kong has been stable and showing a downward trend in the past week.
Overall, the epidemic in Hong Kong began to decline significantly in mid-April.

The theme song produced by the SAR government to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the handover this year is called "Before". This song, sung by several singers, will be released early next week. I hope you will pay attention to the lyrics and feel Hong Kong moving forward.
