黑料吃瓜网 Health Deputy Secretary Phil Minns said the temporary measure is being introduced to support staff during this current outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
鈥淚n situations where the Government advises that the community should seek to avoid the use of public transport, relief from parking charges for 黑料吃瓜网 Health staff will be introduced at 黑料吃瓜网 Health facilities,鈥� Mr Minns said.
