The force expressed regret over the unfounded report and said that its content deviated from the facts.

rep ID card replacement to resume By www.news.gov.hk Published On :: Wed, 06 May 2020 00:00:00 +0800 The Immigration Department announced today that the operation of all nine Smart Identity Card Replacement Centres will be fully resumed on May 11 in light of the more stabilised epidemic situation. The department earlier suspended the replacement of Hong Kong identity cards at the centres to avoid the increased risk of spreading COVID-19. To arrange for people affected by the service suspension to replace their identity cards in an orderly manner, the Secretary for Security has made an amendment order to revise the replacement period for people born in 1957 to 1963 and 1970 to 1976 and the arrangement for members of the sixth term of District Councils. Click here for the arrangements. If the replacement of identity cards needs to be suspended again in the future to cope with a sudden turn of the epidemic situation, the amendment order also provides that if all the centres are not in service for a period of 21 working days or more from May 11 to July 27 for public health reasons, the specified period for the above people will be further extended or amended. The amendment order will be tabled at the Legislative Council on May 13 for negative vetting. To reduce crowd gatherings, applicants who have not made appointments previously should do so via the Internet, the department’s mobile application or the 24-hour hotline at 2121 1234. The department also appealed to applicants to pre-fill the application form when making appointments through the Internet or mobile application. For details click here or call 2824 6111. Full Article
