CE visits Hongkong Post (with photos/video)
*******************************************
Accompanied by the Postmaster General, Miss Cathy Chu, Mrs Lam inspected the Kowloon Speedpost Operations Centre. She was briefed on how Hongkong Post has dealt with the surge in volume of inward mail items during the epidemic, with many containing such protective gear as face masks, through manpower deployment and adjustments to working hours. From the end of the Lunar New Year up to now, Hongkong Post has completed the delivery of 160 000 parcels containing face masks to the public.
Mrs Lam praised postal staff for their commitment to people-oriented services. In response to the tight supply of face masks in the market, they proactively identified parcels with face masks and prioritised their delivery to address the needs of the public. Although workload has increased amid the epidemic, postal staff have worked tirelessly and taken the necessary precautionary measures to resume full public services. She thanked the postal staff for their hard work and encouraged them to continue to provide quality services to the public.
