The Chief Executive's Office announced today that the Executive Council will end its summer recess early and resume regular meetings from August 18 to handle anti-epidemic work and other matters.

Given the severe COVID-19 situation, the arrangement for the Chief Executive to receive petitions outside the Chief Executive’s Office before convening Exco meetings will remain suspended to avoid group gatherings.

Members of the public can send their petitions via email or to the Chief Executive’s Office of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Tamar, Hong Kong.

The Chief Executive will meet the media before Exco meetings at the Auditorium of the Central Government Offices on the ground floor.
