- ‘We won’t do it for the sake of doing it, or do it to fulfil an order [from the chief executive],’ Lam said of the testing push. ‘It should be done to lead the city out of the pandemic’
- She also said heads of the city’s private hospitals had pledged to step up their contributions to Hong Kong’s anti-epidemic fight

An earlier version of this story quoted Carrie Lam on mass testing as saying: "We won’t do it for the sake of doing it, or do it in order to fulfil the order [from the mainland]." The line should have been: "‘We won’t do it for the sake of doing it, or do it to fulfil an order [from the chief executive]."
