The Hospital Authority announced on October 17 that 15 Family Medicine Clinics across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories were scheduled to provide public holiday family medicine outpatient services on October 19, the day following the Chung Yeung Festival. The clinics were to operate from 9am to 1pm and 2pm to 5pm, with appointments bookable by telephone, the eHealth mobile application or the "Book FMC" function in the "HA Go" application.

A spokesperson advised the public to maintain personal and environmental hygiene during the holiday and said people with respiratory symptoms should wear masks and seek medical advice promptly. The spokesperson also urged non-emergency patients to use the clinics, private doctors or 24-hour private hospital outpatient services rather than Accident and Emergency departments.

Eligible residents, particularly high-risk groups, were encouraged to receive seasonal influenza vaccinations early. The spokesperson pointed to the Health Bureau's Primary Care Directory for information on choosing a family doctor.
