本港爆發第五波新冠疫情，但行政長官林鄭月娥近日見記者時仍除下口罩，引起社會關注。她今早（25日）親自解畫，稱這做法不是為了個人，而是為了向公眾清晰傳達情感，這是特首職責之一。

林鄭月娥自去年5月以來，出席記者會以及立法會答問環節時皆沒有戴口罩，林鄭月娥今早（25日）出席行政會議前以英語回應指，不戴口罩並非為了個人，而是履行特首職責，所以她只會在向傳媒公開發言及在立法會場合才脫下口罩，「香港人需要清晰地聆聽特首的說話、收到所傳達的訊息，甚至可能要感受到我的情緒。所以有時我會比較輕鬆，像是去年8月疫情受控、奧運健兒有好表現時，我就會較輕鬆地和大家說話。」

不過林鄭指近日疫情嚴峻，她感到十分憂慮，所以表情會比較嚴肅，「我是特區之首，如果說話時戴著口罩，市民就無法自行領略特首所傳達的情感、感受我的心情，現在我十分憂慮，所以我不會向你們笑（按：不過她說這句話時，也笑了一下）、輕鬆地發言。」

她認為在沒有口罩的情況下，才可以清晰表達訊息情感，令市民更了解香港狀況、支持政府的工作，「如果你們在街上見到我，我一樣會戴著口罩。」

英文版本：
This is not incidental. This is a well thought out behaviour of the Chief Executive. I stop wearing face mask on two occasions when I speak to the media and through the media to the people of Hong Kong. One is in the Legislative Council chamber when I was delivering my policy address and answering questions. And another is standing here talking to you.

The Hong Kong people have to hear very clearly from the Chief Executive. What are the messages that she is conveying to the public. The Hong Kong people may have to feel my emotions.

I am the Chief Executive of HKSAR. People need to understand, and feel my feeling. Now I'm very worried. So I am not going to smile to you in a very and relax and causal manner. This is a very solemn occasion. So I am not doing this not because of comfort. If you see me on the street, I am wearing my mask. But now I am talking to the people of Hong Kong, I want Hong Kong people to understand exactly the situation of Hong Kong is in.

This is nothing of personal. This is really performing my duty as a Chief Executive of HKSAR.

袁國勇：社會領袖應以身作則

政府專家顧問、港大醫學院微生物學系講座教授袁國勇日前曾表示，無論是專家或社會領袖有需要以身作則，讓所有市民明白Omicron病毒傳播能力很強。「我相信如特首自己驗過，核酸檢測是陰性，而所有其他在場的人都戴了口罩，風險真的沒甚麼，但大家要記得Omicron這病毒的空氣傳播能力真的很強，所以如你沒這樣做，你不戴口罩就不是很好，我們尤其專家或領袖，大家一定要以身作則。」
