The Secretary for Food and Health: As I have said earlier, the Steering Committee in accordance with the Serious Response Level under the Preparedness and Response Plan for Novel Infectious Disease of Public Health Significance at the last two meetings has already alerted the relevant departments, for example, those which are providing the holiday camps. We have also walked through the situation when we have the first imported case. So everybody is ready.
