This is looking like there is going to actually be a problem that can't be hidden?

CM will undoubtedly hide any domestic infections attributed to the 6 illegals coming back from Myanmar, all tests done will be found negative and it will all blow over.

Maybe their strategy has changed a little. Maybe they don't want to hide anymore everything and better just let leak the truth a little, to have another reason for another degree of severe emergeny, another curfew and lockdown, to get rid of these pesky daily demonstrations?
