HK Volunteers Federation ready to assist medical professionals from mainland in logistics work

The Hong Kong Volunteers Federation announced on Wednesday that it is willing to send about 10,000 volunteers to assist the medical supportive teams from the mainland in logistics work in Hong Kong.

The medical professionals, who arrived in Hong Kong on Sunday afternoon, are members of a 60-strong nucleic acid testing team established recently at the request of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government for assistance in the battle against the COVID-19 epidemic.

Tam Kam-kau, chairman of the federation, urged the public to join hands and fight the epidemic, hoping that people's life would soon return to normal.

Set up in 2014 by a group of businessmen who are devoted to the community, the federation has more than 100,000 volunteers and has already involved in more than 3,000 volunteering activities.
