Mayor’s remarks:
1. I ask the Social Affairs Bureau to oversee the operational transfer project for converting Sinying Hospital’s Beimen Branch into a diverse long-term care center and to ensure that the project meets standards and is completed within the scheduled timeframe. Please come to me after this meeting and elaborate on the usage of the first floor in the project.
2. I ask the Public Health Bureau to review the number of designated COVID-19 hospital beds, home quarantine cases, medicine delivery, and epidemic prevention hotline setup. We must be prepared at all times for a possible surge in cases.
3. I ask the Civil Affairs Bureau to stipulate management guidelines within a month for temple parades and events. These guidelines should mandate that temples must submit an application with the Civil Affairs Bureau prior to hosting events. The application form should include information such as the location, scale, number of attendees, time and date, and number of firecrackers to be used. Temples should only be able to apply for event permits with the Public Works Bureau or Police Department after the application is approved. While events are taking place, the Civil Affairs Bureau should take the lead and establish an inspection unit along with the Environmental Protection Bureau, Fire Department, and Police Department. Should any violations occur, please enforce the law accordingly.
