教育局更新指引：學生打針後14天內感染不能打少一針
The Education Bureau has updated its school health guidelines for preventing COVID-19, recommending that primary and secondary students receive three doses if they are vaccinated with Sinovac. For those vaccinated with Comirnaty, two doses are recommended for students aged five to 11, and three doses for students aged 12 or above. The bureau said that, to achieve the best effect from vaccination and enhance the immune response, there should be an interval of at least 14 days between vaccination and infection. Therefore, students infected within 14 days of vaccination cannot receive one fewer dose.
教育局更新預防新冠病毒學校健康指引，建議中小學生若接種科興疫苗，便要打3針；如接種復必泰疫苗，5至11歲學生建議打2針，12歲或以上學生打3針。局方提到，為了發揮疫苗最好效果以及提升疫苗的免疫反應，疫苗及感染病毒之間最少要有14天間距，因此學生如果在接種後14天內受感染，不能打少一針。

醫管局前總裁指5月起新冠死亡率與流感相若 盧寵茂批以偏概全
Former Hospital Authority chief executive Leung Pak-yin recently calculated that the case fatality rate among people infected with COVID-19 since May was comparable to that of influenza, at close to 0.1% in both cases. Secretary for Health Lo Chung-mau responded in a post today, stressing that comparing only the death rate since May with influenza “is a serious selection bias, ignoring the misfortune of the thousands of COVID-19 deaths”. He reiterated that more than 9,500 people have died since the Omicron outbreak and that the 0.6% case fatality rate is an “ironclad fact”, criticising Leung’s claim as an overgeneralisation: “Pretending to be blind while feeling an elephant.”
醫管局前行政總裁梁栢賢日前統計，5月後感染新冠的病死率與流感相若，均接近0.1%；醫務衞生局局長盧寵茂今發文反擊，強調單以5月至今的死亡率與流感比較，「是犯了嚴重選擇性偏誤，無視數千新冠死者的不幸」，重申 Omicron 爆發至今逾9,500人死亡，0.6%病死率是「鐵一般的事實」，斥梁的說法以偏概全：「裝成瞎子摸大象。」

內地人稱冇打針照獲臨時疫苗通行證 曾祈殷：觀感上唔理想
A Mainland netizen shared on Xiaohongshu that they had not received a single vaccine dose but had obtained a temporary Vaccine Pass in Hong Kong, allowing them to freely enter venues covered by Vaccine Pass requirements with a “blue code”. The incident has prompted widespread public discussion, and the Health Bureau is considering standardising the requirements for temporary Vaccine Passes. Tsang Chik-yan, co-chairman of the Medical Association’s Advisory Committee on Communicable Diseases, agreed that the requirements should be changed to require all Mainland arrivals in Hong Kong to be vaccinated. He repeatedly said the incident was “not ideal in terms of public perception”, stressing that the issue was not which country people came from, but that Hong Kong’s relevant regulations should apply equally to everyone.
有內地網民在「小紅書」分享自己一針未打，卻在香港獲得臨時疫苗通行證，並以「藍碼」自由出入疫苗通行證規定的場所。事件引起社會廣泛討論，醫務衞生局正考慮統一臨時疫苗通行證要求。醫學會傳染病顧問委員會聯席主席曾祈殷同意更改要求，規定所有內地來港人士必須打針，又多次指事件「觀感上唔理想」，強調問題不是來自哪一國家，而是香港有關規例，就應一視同仁。

羅健熙盼黨內資源緊絀下盡做 若區議會不改制民主黨將繼續參選
Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs Alice Mak Mei-kuen earlier said the composition of the District Councils would be reviewed, and that it was not ruled out that members of Area Committees, Fight Crime Committees and Fire Safety Committees could join them, but no decision had yet been made. Asked whether the Democratic Party would contest District Council elections if the councils underwent the above reforms, Lau Kin-hei said the authorities had not yet put forward a concrete reform proposal. There were too many possibilities, and the party would have to consider the matter based on how the councils were changed. Lau reiterated that, as a party rooted in the community, the Democratic Party would “definitely continue if the system does not change” and would carry out community work within the limited space available.
As to whether it would contest the Legislative Council by-election in mid-December, Lau said its position remained the same as before and it would not field anyone to stand.
民政及青年事務局局長麥美娟早前表示，將檢討區議會組成，不排除會讓分區、滅罪和防火委員會成員加入，但現時未有定案。有記者問到區議會有以上改革時，民主黨會否參選區議會。羅健熙表示，當局現時未有確實的改革方案，可能性太多，需視乎改變後的方式如何再作考慮。但羅重申，民主黨作為在社區立根的政黨，「個制度佢唔變就一定繼續」，在有限空間裏做社區工作。
至於會否選參選12月中的立法會補選，羅健熙表示立場如以往一樣，不會派人參選。

《選舉報告書》指選委私隱洩露事件 相信是職員「不小心」
The uncontested Chief Executive election concluded on May 8 this year. During the election, an incident involving the leak of election committee members’ information caused considerable dissatisfaction among several members. The report released today by the Electoral Affairs Commission gives a detailed account of the incident. A staff member attached the members’ personal telephone numbers, email addresses and signatures when sending a test email, and sent it to 64 election committee members and their assistants. The Commission has apologised to those affected. The report says the Registration and Electoral Office’s investigation found that the incident was believed to have been caused by the staff member’s “carelessness”, but that the office “must learn the lesson”.
沒有競爭的特首選舉今年5月8日完結，在選舉期間出現選委資料洩露的插曲，令多名選委大感不滿。選舉管理委員會今日發表的《報告書》，詳盡披露事件原委，有職員在發出測試電郵時，將選委的個人電話、電郵和簽名夾附在內，並發送給64名選委及其助理。選管會已向受影響人士致歉，《報告書》指選舉事務處調查後，相信是職員「不小心」所致，但處方「必須汲取教訓」。

內地網民曬零針來港獲發「藍碼」 李家超：內地全球風險最低
The government has used various methods to encourage vaccination and last week extended the Vaccine Pass requirements to children aged five. However, a Mainland netizen shared on Xiaohongshu, claiming that despite not having received a single vaccination, they were able to obtain a “blue code” in Hong Kong and freely enter venues covered by the Vaccine Pass requirements. Chief Executive John Lee responded to the incident before this morning’s Executive Council meeting, saying that the Mainland was the place with “the lowest pandemic risk in the world” and that its risk was much lower than Hong Kong’s. He said the policy had been implemented for some time and had not brought imported cases to Hong Kong.
政府用不同方法谷針，上周收緊「疫苗通行證」要求至5歲兒童，內地卻有網民在「小紅書」分享，聲言自己一針未打，卻可以在香港獲得「藍碼」，自由出入疫苗通行證規定的場所。行政長官李家超今早在行政會議前回應事件，他指內地是「全世界疫情風險最低」的地方，相對香港風險低很多，該政策已執行多時，他稱沒為香港帶來輸入個案。

馮驊最後《選舉報告》未提常設邊境票站 若遇疫情可按情況考慮
The 2022 Chief Executive Election Report was Election Affairs Commission chairman Fung Wah’s “farewell work” before leaving office. Political parties and groups called for boundary polling stations during the election, and even urged that they be made permanent, but none were ultimately established because of the pandemic. The report considered it appropriate not to establish boundary polling stations, reiterating that the temporary polling stations set up at three boundary control points during the Legislative Council election were a “one-off special arrangement”. The Commission said that any future decision to set up polling stations in immigration control areas would have to take into account factors including the pandemic situation, the number of affected electors and the difficulty electors would face in returning to Hong Kong to vote.
《二〇二二年行政長官選舉報告書》是選管會前主席馮驊卸任前的「告別作」。政黨政團在選舉期間都要求設立邊境票站，甚至恆常化，但最終因應疫情而未有設置。《報告書》認為不設邊境票站做法適當，重申立法會選舉期間在三個邊境設臨時票站是「一次性特別安排」，選管會認為日後是否在入境管制區設票站，要考慮疫情情況、受影響選民人數、選民回港投票難度等因素。

職員寫錯私人電郵致選民私隱外洩 選舉事務處電腦禁上Gmail
The Electoral Affairs Office today released investigation reports into two data-breach incidents. One involved information about Election Committee members, but the investigation found it was believed to have been accidental. The other involved the Chinese and English names and addresses of more than 15,000 voters. An employee mistakenly sent the data to an unknown email address. Police subsequently located the recipient and found that the email had not been opened. There was insufficient evidence to prosecute anyone. The Electoral Affairs Office subsequently “enhanced data security” by introducing computer restrictions for some staff, including preventing access to Gmail, Yahoo Mail, iCloud Mail and similar services.
選舉事務處今日公布兩宗資料外洩事件調查報告，其中一宗涉及選委會委員資料，但調查後相信是「不小心」；另一宗涉及逾1.5萬名選民的中英文姓名及住址，員工錯誤將資料發送一個不明電郵，警方其後找到收件人，發現對方未曾開啟電郵，無足夠證據起訴任何人。選舉事務處此後「提升數據安全」，增加部分人員的電腦限制措施，即不能瀏覽 Gmail、Yahoo Mail、iCloud Mail 等功能。

臨時疫苗通行證雙重標準？當局稱研統一要求
A mainland visitor recently said on the social media platform Xiaohongshu that they came to Hong Kong last month without being vaccinated but obtained a temporary Vaccine Pass. The LeaveHomeSafe app displayed a “blue code”, and they were able to enter venues requiring Vaccine Pass scans and dine in at restaurants. Dr Au Ka-wing, chief physician of the Centre for Health Protection’s Communicable Disease Branch, said the Health Bureau was considering standardising the requirements for temporary Vaccine Passes.
有內地旅客日前在社交網站「小紅書」稱，上月在沒接種疫苗的情況下來港，獲得臨時疫苗通行證，「安心出行」不但顯示為「藍碼」，更可出入須掃描疫苗通行證的處所，和食肆作堂食。衞生防護中心傳染病處首席醫生歐家榮表示，醫務衞生局正考慮統一臨時疫苗通行證要求。

胡英明指2019年「暴動」部署多年 轟區議員探監期間煽暴
Hu Ying-ming, former Commissioner of Correctional Services and current Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, told an interview with Ko Chi-sum that the 2019 “riots” had been planned for years and that the “black forces” behind them were “not that simple”. He also criticised district councillors for inciting violence during prison visits: “They kept inciting things during their visits, telling them to continue the struggle and telling people in custody not to change, saying, ‘We strongly support you.’ Hey, come on! The young people had already ended up here because of the circumstances, and you were still fanning the flames. I told myself, it was impossible to go on like this.”
懲教署前署長、現任廉政專員胡英明接受高志森訪問，指2019年的「暴動」已部署多年，背後的「黑勢力」更「唔係咁簡單」。他亦炮轟有區議員到監獄探訪期間煽暴，「佢哋探嘅期間不斷煽動緊啲嘢，叫佢哋繼續抗爭，要在囚人士繼續唔好改呀，我哋好支持你。喂大佬！即係啲後生仔都已經因為情況入咗嚟，你仲喺度不斷撥，我同自己講冇可能咁樣。」
