Hong Kong politicians sent to jail after birthday party | Coronavirus Plague News

Those sent to the isolation camp include interior secretary Caspar Tsui and head of the heirs and heirs and Au Ka-wang.

Many Hong Kong officials and politicians were ordered to remain in custody on Friday after health officials found a second case of coronavirus at a birthday party attended by many politicians in the city.

“Everyone involved in the celebration should be kept separate,” said Chuang Shuk-kwan from the Hong Kong Center for Health Protection.

Interior Secretary Caspar Tsui was sent to a private camp on Thursday after he was found to be in close contact with the person who could carry him.

By Friday, he was joined by four other politicians as well as the incumbent and outgoing Au Ka-wang – all of whom shared Monday’s birthday party at the tapas restaurant.

“I sincerely apologize to all the people of Hong Kong. I have considered this and will be vigilant in the future, “said Au.

He also said he had been at the restaurant for a while and “left as soon as he thanked my friend without eating and sat down”.

“I feel I acted recklessly and instead I regret it,” lawmaker Duncan Chiu told local radio. “This has set a bad example.”

Hong Kong President Carrie Lam said she was “deeply disappointed” at the summit.

It was held to celebrate the birthday of Witman Hung, a member of the Chinese Legislative Assembly, according to local journalists.

Omicron explosion

Although the party was legal at the time, health officials advised people three days earlier to avoid large gatherings.

The government is promoting COVID-19 restrictions this week after a small Omicron outbreak was followed by a pilot member.

Several local people released a photo showing Hung playing a microphone with his hand on the shoulder of a smiling woman, all naked.

Hung, who apologized late Thursday, was repatriated to isolation, local media reported.

The party was also attended by nine government officials – including the city’s chief of police and the head of the anti-corruption agency – but did not order them to remain in solitary confinement as they left the area suspected of having COVID.

Earlier this week, Mr Lam said the plane should take responsibility for violating isolation laws even though it “does not know what their crew is doing”.

Asked by reporters on Thursday if he should do the same, Lam said it would “be bad for the administration” if he took the role of prime minister who should lead for example.

This is not the first time adults have found themselves in hot water because of health regulations.

Last year, three incoming and outgoing officials, including Au, were fined for violating social norms and standards by eating hotpot at a luxury apartment owned by a local manufacturer.

Legislative Council Meeting

The latest manifesto in Hong Kong for 21 days has left city officials with a red face as they launch a new “patriotic” parliament, which is due to hold its first meeting next Wednesday.

Officials have made it clear that the legislators sent to the reserve will not miss the moment when Legislative Council President Andrew Leung said he hoped next week’s meeting would continue as planned.

A new 90 city political party was elected last month under a new law passed by Beijing, which tested all those who want to “love their country”.

Only 20 were elected directly from the minority who voted, and the rest were nominated by Beijing-affiliated committees.
