保安局局長鄧炳強出席立法會回覆議員質詢表示，香港仍存在國家安全隱患，因此有必要保留禁蒙面法，他又指禁蒙面法只適用於《公安條例》下的公眾集會及遊行，或非法及未經批准的集結，並不會影響市民日常生活佩戴口罩。市民在公眾集會或遊行中佩戴口罩，是否違法要視乎個別實際情況，包括涉事人有否合理辯解等，他又指法例中已列明幾個情況下市民參與遊行遊行時仍可載口罩，包括宗教、醫學及健康理由等，他舉例解釋如市民「戴豬咀面罩」或「V煞面具」等不屬合理衞生原因，就並非合理辯解。
Security chief Chris Tang stated on Wednesday that Hong Kong still faces national security risks, and therefore is necessary to retain the ban on masks in public gatherings and unauthorized assemblies under the Public Order Ordinance.
He emphasized that the mask ban only applies to public gatherings and marches under the Public Order Ordinance and does not affect citizens' daily lives when wearing masks. Whether it is illegal for citizens to wear masks during public gatherings or marches depends on individual circumstances, including whether the individuals involved have reasonable justifications. He also pointed out that the law has listed several situations in which citizens can still wear masks during processions, including for religious, medical, and health reasons.
Tang added that having a face covering for health or religious reasons was acceptable under the law, but a gas mask or a "V for Vendetta mask" would be another story.
