The coronavirus outbreak in Hong Kong appears to be slowing, but it is essential that anti-virus measures are maintained to prevent new infections.

CLP Power Hong Kong Limited (CLP Power) has shown its care to the community and the people in need through various non-governmental organisations and community partners. It has teamed up with Hong Kong Community Anti-Coronavirus Link for donating 100,000 surgical masks to underprivileged families through around 230 secondary schools to safeguard students' health when classes resume. CLP Power has also donated more than 100,000 bottles of disinfectant sprays to people in need in its supply areas with the support of The Lok Sin Tong Benevolent Society, Kowloon and community partners.

'CLP Power has grown hand in hand with Hong Kong for almost 120 years,' said CLP Power Managing Director Mr T K Chiang. 'As Hong Kong is facing the challenge of combating the coronavirus, we have continued to care for the community by working with our community partners to support people in need.'

CLP Power has offered its support for the needy groups during the coronavirus outbreak. It has donated surgical masks to the Hospital Authority, while the CLP Volunteer Team with the support of business customers has donated clothes, personal care products, foods and drinks and disinfectant sprays to various public hospitals.

CLP volunteers have also teamed up with the charitable organisation Sik Sik Yuen and community partners to distribute over 3,000 goody bags containing surgical masks, hand sanitisers, and packets of rice to elderly people and tenants of sub-divided units. CLP Power has meanwhile funded the supply of anti-virussupplies and food for elderly, disabled people and low-income families, as well as board games for low-income families to help students learn about electricity and energy saving at home while normal classes are suspended.
