The Government will start distributing anti-epidemic service bags to households across the city from 10am tomorrow.

The service bags will be first distributed to the grassroots, such as tenants of “three-nil” buildings and subdivided units, and will then be delivered to the residents in other buildings.

To plug the gap, the District Offices will set up about 90 distribution points in 18 districts from April 7 to 13, for households that cannot be reached during door-to-door visits to collect the service bags from there. 

The staff distributing the bags will leave these households a collection slip for picking up the bags from the stations.

Thanks to civil service colleagues and more than 17,000 volunteers, 3.5 million service bags have been packed in three days.

Acting Secretary for Home Affairs Jack Chan said the work of distributing the anti-epidemic service bags fully demonstrates the spirit of concerted co-operation among the Government, all sectors of the community and the public in fighting the epidemic.

“We firmly believe that with the staunch support from our motherland, as long as Hong Kong citizens are united in one heart to fight the epidemic, Hong Kong will definitely win this battle.
