In 2021, a law was enacted where lawmakers had to be "patriots" and loyal to the government.[2] Later in January 2022, after gaining a seat in the "patriots"-only election, Hong inferred that previous anti-establishment legislative council members were responsible for dysfunction in Hong Kong, claiming "We couldn't focus on development for a long time because our society and the chamber were highly divided, and the Legislative Council was not able to function smoothly."[3]

On 5 January 2022, Carrie Lam announced new warnings and restrictions against social gathering due to potential COVID-19 outbreaks.[4] One day later, it was discovered that Hong attended a birthday party hosted by Witman Hung Wai-man, with 222 guests.[5][6][7] At least one guest tested positive with COVID-19, causing all guests to be quarantined.[7]

In September 2022, Hong tested positive for COVID-19.[8]
