Mayor’s remarks:
1. Access to parent-child centers and the digital registration of the stimulus vouchers are major public concerns. I implore that relevant bureaus and departments handle these matters accordingly.
2. The administration of the second dose of the Moderna vaccine for older adults will commence next week. I ask that the Bureau of Civil Affairs ensure that early notices have been sent and work together with relevant bureaus and departments to maintain order and provide pick-up services. Eligible candidates must be notified by qualified personnel to avoid unnecessary disputes and misunderstandings. When help is needed, please do not hesitate to ask other bureaus and departments for support. The Public Health Bureau is responsible for ensuring smooth on-site operations. Please follow all standard operating procedures. I thank everyone for their hard work.
3. We remain in Level 2 lockdown. Before the central government announces a downgrade, we must continue our epidemic prevention efforts. Masks must still be worn at all times, even if lockdown restrictions are downgraded to Level 1. I expect strict compliance with this requirement. We will continue to work hard to raise vaccination coverage. However, the mask mandate remains in place, and relevant epidemic prevention measures must be carried out, even as coverage increases.
4. Relevant bureaus and departments must outsource their public works projects as soon as possible to avoid budget hikes caused by rising wages and material prices.
