Civic Party lawmaker Kwok Ka-ki has warned that the Hospital Authority's "threat" to penalize staff who joined a strike earlier this month is harming morale and could lead to resignations, RTHK reports. They also demanded sufficient protective gear to ensure frontline staff can stay safe. Kwok told RTHK's Joanne Wong that he's disappointed by the Hospital Authority's "threats" against the strikers, and said the move could backfire. They were only asking for very sensible measures by the government to protect the people of Hong Kong, as well as the medical staff," he said. Kwok added that morale among hospital staff has been badly affected by the response to the strike.
