Secretary for Culture, Sports & Tourism Kevin Yeung has appointed Chinese contemporary artist Xu Bing as Ambassador for Cultural Promotion for about five years starting today. As Ambassador for Cultural Promotion, Mr Xu will initiate a series of large-scale art projects in Hong Kong and nurture young talent to promote cultural development. The Culture, Sports & Tourism Bureau said the appointment aims to extend the Ambassador for Cultural Promotion scheme to other fields of arts, after Chinese composer, musician and conductor Tan Dun became Hong Kong’s first Ambassador for Cultural Promotion last year. Speaking at the appointment ceremony today, Mr Yeung said Mr Xu is widely recognised as one of the most innovative and influential Chinese contemporary artists. The culture chief added that the Museum of Art collected one of Mr Xu's most well-known works A Book from the Sky, which contains both traditional and contemporary elements, just like Hong Kong
The Food & Environmental Hygiene Department said it has updated the QR Code Verification Scanner mobile app to enable users to read the updated QR codes for the third dose of COVID-19 vaccination records.
The department urged premises operators to update the mobile app as soon as possible.
Pursuant to the current specification and directions under the Prevention & Control of Disease (Requirements & Directions) (Business & Premises) Regulation, premises operators must use the QR Code Verification Scanner mobile app provided by the Government to scan customers' QR codes of their COVID-19 vaccination records for checking whether they have complied with the requirement about vaccination.
If a customer chooses to bring along his or her record of having received the third dose of a vaccine, the updated mobile app will be able to read it, facilitating the premises operator to fulfil the relevant directions and the customer to gain admission to the premises.
