       Wang apologised and thanked everyone for their kind reminders. He admitted to being negligent, adding that he took full responsibility for his mistake.

       Hsu also made a public apology. She explained that it was a gathering of good friends and acknowledged that they neglected the pandemic prevention regula- tions.
