HK to scrap mask mandate Wednesday
香港特区3月1日起全面取消口罩令
Hong Kong will lift its mask mandate on Wednesday, the city’s chief executive said on Tuesday. "
香港特区行政长官李家超28日上午宣布，香港3月1日起全面取消口罩令。
(The) time is right for the mask mandate to be scrapped," John Lee Ka-chiu said to the media on Tuesday before the weekly Executive Council meeting.
“现在是时候取消口罩令了，” 李家超出席行政会议前会见媒体时说。
For high-risk venues such as hospitals and nursing homes, those in charge can require their staff and visitors to wear masks by issuing administrative instructions, he said.
他说，高风险地方例如医院和养老院等，负责人可以用“行政指令”方式要求职员及访客戴口罩。
The decision was made based on pandemic statistics, which show no sign of rebound, and the fact Hong Kong has already built an extensive community defense against COVID-19, Lee said.
李家超说，取消口罩令基于几点考虑，包括数据显示香港疫情受控、并无大的反弹的迹象；香港已建立广泛及全面防疫屏障。
The winter influenza season has also almost come to an end and the risks are under control, he added.
他补充说，冬季流感已临近尾声，风险可控。
