On the afternoon of February 21, for the purpose of implementing the "Initiative for Shantou and Hong Kong to Work Together to Fight against COVID-19", Shantou City held the launching ceremony of collecting materials to assist Hong Kong. On behalf of the CPC Shantou Municipal Committee and Shantou Municipal People’s Government, municipal leader Cai Yongming donated materials to the Federation of Hong Kong Shantou Community Organizations for assisting Hong Kong.

The COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong grips the hearts of all Chinese people. Shantou City immediately released a proposal "Shantou and Hong Kong Work Together to Fight against COVID-19 and Overcome Difficulties Together" to all sectors of society, which received positive responses from all sectors of society and Chaoshan business people at home and abroad. As of the time at 13:00 on February 21, Shantou City raised the pandemic prevention supplies with a total value of about CNY 5.7 million. After the first batch of pandemic prevention supplies are delivered to Hong Kong, the Federation of Hong Kong Shantou Community Organizations will distribute them to 10 districts, and organize volunteers to deliver them to Hong Kong citizens as quickly as possible.
