To avoid prolonged group gathering, the Chairlady proposed adopting the following arrangements at the meeting: the duration of the meeting would not exceed four hours; members of the public would not be allowed to observe the proceedings of the meeting where possible; the Secretariat would maintain minimum manpower; reporters of the media or assistants of Members entering the Conference Room had to register with their real names and phone numbers to facilitate tracking where necessary (the number of reporters/assistants should not be too many owing to the small area of the Conference Room); persons entering the Conference Room were required to have their temperatures taken, and the Secretariat had provided a non-contact infrared thermometer; all attendees should bring along and wear masks; the Secretariat would not provide tea cups at the meeting to ensure hygiene. Only tetra pack drinks would be provided. Members could bring along their own water flasks. Item 1 : Adoption of the agenda (2:33 pm to 2:35 pm) 4.
