On 5 January 2022, Carrie Lam announced new warnings and restrictions against social gathering due to potential COVID-19 outbreaks.[2] One day later, it was discovered that Luk attended a birthday party hosted by Witman Hung Wai-man, with 222 guests.[3][4][5] At least one guest tested positive with COVID-19, causing many guests to be quarantined.[5]
In June 2023, Luk defended legislation that would give lawmakers a summer break, and said that the media should refer to it as an "adjournment of LegCo meetings."[6]
Luk stood down in 2025 after choosing not to seek another term in October 2025.
