Chief Executive of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Carrie Lam told a media conference on Tuesday that most civil servants will gradually return to work in two phases from May 4.
Lam also said they were watchful of a second outbreak of COVID-19 and thus the two containment measures – travel curbs and social distancing – could not be totally relaxed.
A total of 1,037 cases of COVID-19 have been reported in HKSAR so far, along with 787 recoveries and four deaths.
