The Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says he knows they will be distribute food rations all of tonight to people that have called 161 but whether they can meet everybody's need is another problem.

He says they still have people from the same household calling the number and that is wasting a lot of time for them.

Doctor Fong adds they are making three deliveries to one household because of this and later have to make other plans when they find out the family has already been assisted.

He is stressing that in order for us to be able to prepare for future lockdowns, we need people to be honest about their requests.
