Government adviser Yuen Kwok-yung calls for an independent inquiry into Hong Kong's Covid-19 response to better prepare for future public health challenges. He suggests maintaining the mask mandate until late March or April and annual Covid vaccinations in October or November. Yuen also highlights the need for better tracing, isolation, and testing in the early stages of a pandemic. Legislative Council representative David Lam Tzit-yuen agrees with the need for an inquiry but emphasizes it should not focus on holding people accountable.
