Having discussions and making “general remarks” about Hong Kong’s coronavirus strategy is not illegal and does not violate the Chinese territory’s national security law, the government said, as it grapples to control a rise in cases.

Hong Kong’s policy to achieve “Dynamic zero infection” was the most effective way to fight the outbreak and protect.
