The government aims for a 90 per cent vaccination rate for the first dose of vaccine by the beginning of March, and an 80 per cent rate for the second dose in mid-March.
Lam urged citizens to limit non-necessary outings, and employers of foreign domestic workers to discuss resting day arrangements with migrant workers.
Lam said the gov't will examine legal issues over sending specimens to mainland China for processing, but said it will not involve privacy issues. Results will only be matched with Hong Kong ID card details once they returned to the city, and test samples will be given barcodes.
On potential lockdowns, Lam said that it is not "realistic" to ban people from going out.
