The Executive Council held its weekly meeting at the Chief Executive's residence, Government House, on Tuesday morning as the government headquarters at Tamar was closed for the day.

A brief statement announcing the change of venue also said no arrangements will be made for the press to cover the meeting. Usually, the Chief Executive Carrie Lam addresses several questions from the media before going into the weekly meeting.

The Secretariat of the Executive Council said there would be no area designated for the media, or for protesters at Government House.

The Exco had cancelled its two last meetings due to the ongoing protests.

Lam had not met the media for days before appearing at the 4am briefing earlier in the day to condemn the violence that occurred at the Legco complex on Monday night.

Some media members nevertheless arrived outside the government house after the meeting was announced, but all they could see was the councillors arriving in their cars.
