Secretary for the Civil Service Patrick Nip today visited the Transport Department (TD) and the Social Welfare Department (SWD) to learn more about the preparations made by both departments to resume public services.

The Government announced that the resumption of public services will start from May 4 under a phased approach.

While the TD will resume road tests on that day, written tests will resume on May 26.

The SWD will also gradually resume the services of its Integrated Family Service Centres (IFSC).

Mr Nip first visited the driving test centre in Ho Man Tin where he was briefed by the Commissioner for Transport Mable Chan on arrangements for the resumption of road tests and the implementation of infection control measures at driving test centres.

Such measures will require candidates to wear surgical masks and undergo body temperature screening at entrances.

As for the written tests, Mr Nip said he was pleased to learn that the TD will keep seats apart at appropriate distances and step up cleansing of computers at test centres.

Mr Nip then visited the Causeway Bay Integrated Family Service Centre where he was briefed on the plan to gradually resume services at IFSCs and measures to reduce social contact.

Mr Nip also learned that various infection control measures to safeguard the health of colleagues as well as service users will be put in place. For example, group activities will be conducted for no more than four participants and physical partitioning will be erected in meeting rooms for counselling services.

Mr Nip emphasised that many people hope that the Government can provide more public services when the epidemic situation becomes stable.

“I am pleased to learn that the departments have made all the necessary preparations for providing the services needed by the public while striving to safeguard public health.

“Government departments will continue to maintain a high degree of vigilance and adopt all the necessary precautionary measures. The Government will also closely monitor the situation and determine when to embark on a full resumption of normal business.”

Mr Nip expressed hope that the public will continue to fight the virus together with the Government.

He also thanked civil servants for their commitment and dedicated efforts to serve the public during the epidemic.

Secretary for the Civil Service Patrick Nip today visited the Inland Revenue Department and the Labour Department to inspect the resumption of public services.

The Government had earlier announced that public services will be resumed under a phased approach.

Counter services of most government departments have returned to normal.

Mr Nip first visited the Inland Revenue Department in Revenue Tower and was briefed on counter services at the Central Enquiry Counter, the Business Registration Office and the Stamp Office.

He learnt that the department has implemented various infection control and crowd management measures, such as a ticketing system, to safeguard the health of colleagues and the public.

Later Mr Nip visited the Hong Kong East Job Centre and a recruitment centre for the catering and retail industries and was briefed on the resumption of normal services at the Labour Department's job and recruitment centres.

He said: “While maintaining a high degree of vigilance and adopting all necessary precautionary measures, the Government gradually resumed public services today in a smooth and orderly manner.

“Various infection control measures have been put in place at government buildings and offices. These include checking the body temperature of persons at entrances, providing alcohol-based hand sanitiser and enhancing the cleaning of public facilities.

“The Government will closely monitor the situation to determine when to embark on full resumption of normal business.”

Scapy is a powerful interactive packet manipulation tool, packet generator, network scanner, network discovery tool, and packet sniffer. It provides classes to interactively create packets or sets of packets, manipulate them, send them over the wire, sniff other packets from the wire, match answers and replies, and more. Interaction is provided by the Python interpreter, so Python programming structures can be used (such as variables, loops, and functions). Report modules are possible and easy to make. It is intended to do the same things as ttlscan, nmap, hping, queso, p0f, xprobe, arping, arp-sk, arpspoof, firewalk, irpas, tethereal, tcpdump, etc.
