6:52Now PlayingHong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam explained the city's effort in Covid-19 vaccine purchase, emphasizing the support of Chinese vaccines if Hong Kong needs them.
"We have been discussing, negotiating and signing advance purchase agreements with some of these research companies and drug production companies," Lam said.
"But if need, the central government will also lend us helping hand in supply of vaccines," she added.
Lam said that Hong Kong would shutter more indoor entertainment venues as cases rose, without providing details.
“The direction is to cover this kind of premises because according to the WHO, we have to avoid three things: Avoid closed areas, avoid crowds -- the ‘three C’s’ -- and avoid close contacts,” Lam said.
The moves come after Hong Kong reported 63 new local coronavirus cases on Monday, the most since early August. Concerns are rising about a new wave of infections in a city that has largely avoided major outbreaks seen elsewhere in the world.
“Unfortunately we see a rebound, so we need to do our best to keep it under control,” Lam said. Still, “we have to look at it globally because this is a global pandemic,” she added. “Hong Kong is not doing bad at all.”
