Both I and my Department recognise that our dedicated health care workers have played a key role in our national effort against Covid-19. Their determination and commitment to assisting our sick and vulnerable to get the medical treatment they needed, has, and continues to be, very much appreciated. Others across the public and private sectors also deserve to be commended for their efforts in combatting this pandemic. The issue of a bonus or additional pay for health care workers has not been considered.
