Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, non-urgent public sector services were deprioritised to cater for the pressing needs of Covid patients, leaving non-Covid patients at risk to delay in care. But the impact of the pandemic extend extends far beyond the provision of healthcare services. For instance, new ways of how people live, work, and shop has profound implications on how we should plan our city. Elsewhere, it has also accelerated the convergence of arts and technology, with cultural organisations around the world going digital for performance.

In this session, researchers from Our Hong Kong Foundation (OHKF) will present their views on how our city can adapt to the new challenges posed by the pandemic, in areas such as primary care, urban planning, and even arts and technology.
