Clean sweep

The Clean Hong Kong Campaign launched in Wan Chai today to raise awareness on public hygiene.

 

Officiating at the launch ceremony under the Canal Road West flyover, Secretary for Food & Health Dr Ko Wing-man said the Wan Chai campaign is among the first of a series of activities under Keep Clean 2015@Hong Kong Our Home.

 

The campaign is to improve urban amenities and public health.

 

To keep Hong Kong clean and tidy, he said sole reliance on the efforts of government departments is not sufficient. Mutual co-operation among all sectors of the community and active participation of all Hong Kong people is also needed.

 

After the ceremony, the officiating guests and Wan Chai district councillors cleaned up a nearby alley and distributed cleaning packs to the public.

 

The district council members then joined a bus parade to distribute cleaning packs at various locations to remind the public of the importance of personal hygiene and household cleanliness.

 

To continue to promote cleanliness, the Wan Chai District Office will, from mid-August to mid-October, distribute cleaning packs to owners' corporations, mutual aid committees and "three-nil" buildings and appeal to them to clean up the common areas of their buildings.

 

The Food & Environmental Hygiene Department will also reinforce the cleaning of hygiene black spots in the district.
