疫苗通首兩周1告票 物管界：被動執法暢順
The COVID-19 Vaccine Pass took effect on the 24th of last month. By the 8th of this month, police had issued one ticket in connection with the scheme, involving a person found unable to produce a vaccination record or exemption certificate at a shopping centre the day after implementation. No further tickets were issued over the following 11 days. A property management industry representative said passive enforcement in shopping centres had operated smoothly, and there had been no apparent increase in police entering shopping centres to enforce the measure.
新型冠狀病毒「疫苗通行證」上月24日起實施，至本月8日，警方就此發出1張告票，涉及在措施推行翌日發現有人在商場未能出示針卡或豁免書，其後11天沒再發告票。有物管業界人士表示，商場內被動執法運作暢順，未見增加警力入商場執法。

落馬洲方艙醫院 緊急法下的直通深圳橋
China State Construction Engineering Group, appointed by the central government, is building an emergency hospital and community isolation and treatment facilities in the Lok Ma Chau Loop, each with about 11,000 units. Construction is under way. A temporary bridge at the site leads directly to Shenzhen, allowing mainland engineering personnel and materials to reach the site directly. Chief Secretary for Administration John Lee Ka-chiu cited the Emergency Regulations Ordinance to exempt the engineering personnel and materials within the site, as well as the temporary bridge, from being governed by Hong Kong laws. The authorities said the bridge would be dismantled after completion.
由中央政府指派中建科工集團，在落馬洲河套區興建、各共約1.1萬個單位的應急醫院及社區隔離及治療設施，正在動工當中。工地有一條臨時橋樑，直達深圳，讓內地工程人員及物資直達工地，而政務司司長李家超則引用《緊急法》，豁免工地範圍內的工程人員及物資，以及該臨時橋樑受香港法例規管。當局表示，橋樑在完工後將會拆卸。

預告嚴厲執法 驚蟄「打小人」拖鞋聲消失
Yesterday was Jingzhe, one of the 24 solar terms. Traditionally, many people go to the area beneath the Canal Road Flyover in Wan Chai to “beat villains” and drive away the gods of plague. This year, as the novel coronavirus epidemic worsens and authorities warned of strict enforcement against breaches of the gathering ban, no stalls were operating beneath the flyover yesterday afternoon. The resounding slaps of “villain beaters” using slippers to strike villains were also absent. Only about 10 police officers patrolled nearby, while several police vehicles stood by.
昨日為二十四節氣中的「驚蟄」，傳統上不少人會到灣仔鵝頸橋底「打小人」驅趕瘟神。今年新冠病毒疫情嚴峻，在當局預告會嚴厲執法打擊違反限聚令下，昨午鵝頸橋沒攤檔營業，橋底再無響起「小人婆」拿拖鞋打小人的「啪啪聲」，只有約10名警員在附近巡邏，並有多輛警車戒備。

緊急法豁免話音落 深圳橋已駁河套 發展局：沒補充 湯家驊：先建後豁免有效
The Government earlier announced that, with the central government’s full support, assistance projects would be launched at nine locations. The temporary hospital in the Lok Ma Chau Loop will provide about 1,000 emergency hospital beds and about 10,000 beds in community isolation and treatment facilities. China State Construction Technology Group was assigned by the central government to undertake the works. The Government said yesterday that it had invoked the Emergency Regulations Ordinance to exempt personnel and materials for the temporary hospital project in the Lok Ma Chau Loop from restrictions under Hong Kong law, and that a temporary bridge could be built to connect with the Shenzhen boundary. This newspaper found that, when the Government announced the exemption, the temporary bridge had already crossed the river and connected to the Hong Kong boundary. The Development Bureau said it had nothing to add.
政府早前宣布在中央全力支持下，於9個地點開展援建項目，其中，落馬洲河套區的臨時醫院，將提供約1000個應急醫院牀位和約1萬個社區隔離及治療設施牀位，中建科工集團由中央指派負責工程。政府昨日稱引《緊急法》，豁免落馬洲河套區臨時醫院工程人員及物資受本港法律限制，並可建設臨時橋樑連接深圳邊境。本報發現，政府公布豁免之時，臨時橋樑已跨河接駁到香港邊境，發展局對此表示沒有補充。

驚蟄禁打小人 警封檔口守鵝頸橋
Today is Jingzhe, one of the traditional 24 solar terms. In previous years, many people visited the area beneath Ngo Keng Bridge in Wan Chai to perform the traditional “villain-beating” ritual, hoping to drive away bad luck. This year, however, police cited the pandemic and barred “Jingzhe villain-beating” operators from doing business, warning that they would strictly enforce anti-epidemic regulations against violators. This was the first such action in the two years since the pandemic began. An InMediaHK reporter visited the area beneath the bridge this morning and found the normally lively scene quiet, with no queues. Only six police officers were on duty and patrolling, while the stalls normally used for “villain-beating” had been cordoned off with tape by police.
今日是傳統廿四節氣的「驚蟄」，以往有不少市民按傳統到灣仔鵝頸橋底「打小人」，祈求驅走惡運。但今年警方以疫情為由，「驚蟄打小人」經營者無得營業，並揚言對違反防疫規例者嚴厲執法，是疫情兩年來首次。《獨媒》記者今早到鵝頸橋橋底視察，原本熱鬧的場面變得冷清，亦沒有排隊人龍，只有6名警員站崗及巡邏。平日「打小人」的檔口亦被警方用膠帶圍起。
