Sha Tin Dragon Boat Race to be postponed to be announced later
The Sha Tin Dragon Boat Race 2020 Preparatory Committee stated that after discussion, it was decided that the "Sha Tin Dragon Boat Race 2020" originally scheduled to be held on June 25 will be postponed. As the details of the competition need to be re-planned, the date will be announced later. The paid team places and funds will be retained, and there is no need to register again in the future.
If the epidemic situation does not show signs of subsiding in the next few months, the Preparatory Committee does not rule out the eventual cancellation of this year's tournament, and the fees paid by each team will be fully paid.
Aberdeen Dragon Boat Race Competition postponed
The Aberdeen Dragon Boat Race has also been postponed. The Southern District Dragon Boat Race Committee stated that in view of the persistence of new crown pneumonia, the government urged the public to avoid gathering to reduce the risk of community transmission and temporarily ban large-scale events. The Commission received a notice from the Southern District Council that applications for funding for the first two quarters of this year will not be processed for the time being. Therefore, the Aberdeen Dragon Boat Race, originally scheduled for June 25, will be postponed. Details of the event will be announced as soon as possible.
In addition, the Yongming Stanley Dragon Boat Race originally scheduled to be held on June 25 will be held as scheduled.

In addition, as the new crown pneumonia epidemic is raging locally and globally, the Hong Kong Tourism Board announced earlier that it has decided to suspend the "2020 Hong Kong Dragon Boat Carnival" which was originally scheduled to be held from June 19 to 21.
Considering that many local dragon boat races will be held around the Dragon Boat Festival in June, the HKTB will not only publicize in different channels, but also provide funding to the event organizers to help them strengthen their epidemic prevention measures.
