China's leader Xi Jinping took a personal interest in Hong Kong's outbreak, saying it was the local government's "overriding task" to control the situation, a Hong Kong newspaper said on February 16.
Xi personally issued instructions and directed Vice-Premier Han Zheng to express to the city's chief executive Carrie Lam the high level of concern Chinese Communist Party leaders had about Hong Kong's ongoing outbreak, according to Wen Wei Po, a pro-Beijing news outlet.
