The government on Friday announced a sudden change in the leadership of the Centre for Health Protection.
A Deputy Director of Health, Dr Ronald Lam, has replaced Wong Ka-hing as the centre's controller.
Wong, meanwhile, has been moved to a new half-year post as the Controller of Public Health Service.
The government said the centre's workload has been increasing amid the pandemic and the new post is needed to share the burden as the city's vaccination programme gets underway in the coming months.
Wong's work performance has been questioned during the pandemic as the daily coronavirus briefings have usually been hosted by his subordinate, Dr Chuang Shuk-kwan.
