Dr Albert Au of the Centre for Health
Protection said at the daily briefing that having fewer than 10,000 cases for

“At this key juncture,
please limit gatherings. People should stay at home, especially the elderly,
and avoid cross family gatherings."
He said it was understandable
that people were getting tired of following anti-pandemic restrictions, but
there were still silent transmissions in the community so they should not let
their guard down.
