Police clarify rumours
**********************
Ill-intentioned people have once again spread false information online, claiming that district police stations are giving out free face masks to the public. These rumour-mongers have also claimed that the Government will supply a large amount of face masks to the family members of Police officers. Police must squash such misinformation and remind the public not to be misled.
The Hong Kong Police Force pledges to stand firm and join hands with people from all walks of life to fight this battle against the epidemic.
