On behalf of the central government, Liao Hui, director of the State Council's Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, presented the donation to Edmund Ho Hau Wah, the chief executive of Macao Special Administrative Region.

The donation includes 300 infrared thermometers, 60,000 protective suits, 10,000 pairs of foot covers, 200,000 surgical masks, 50,000 sets of disposable bed sheets, 5,000 pairs of goggles and a variety of SARS-related medicines.
