The third wave of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has a downward trend, and the crowds reappeared on the streets on weekends.

The reporter visited Saigon today (27th). Although the flow of people has picked up, it is not considered a particularly large number.

Some parents took advantage of the downturn of the epidemic to take their children to outlying islands, and some citizens went to the Kau Sai Chau public golf course to play golf.

Regarding restaurants, although the business of restaurants near the pier has rebounded, the person in charge of restaurants far away from the pier said that business has not improved much.

The third wave of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has begun to decline recently, and the number of confirmed cases has been maintained in single digits for the past seven consecutive days.

The reporter went to the Saigon Pier today (27) to inspect the flow of people and found that although the flow of people on weekdays has picked up, it has not returned to the level of last year's normal weekdays.

Working at home for many months and playing golf with friends

Josh, a foreign citizen residing in Hong Kong, took advantage of the downturn of the epidemic and went golfing with friends at the Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course of the Boat Jockey Club.

He believes that Hong Kong's control of the epidemic is better than that of the United States or his hometown of South Africa, especially because of Hong Kong's high population density, and the public's awareness of hygiene is also high. Everyone should do their part.

Josh also pointed out that he had been working at home for the past few months and had never left the house except for going out to buy food.

In response to the decline of the epidemic in the past week, Josh invited his friends to play golf in Kau Sai Chau today, and then went to Sai Kung for dinner.

He pointed out that although the epidemic has fallen, he still dares not to take it lightly and will still wear a mask and wash his hands frequently.

Don't worry, you can take the kids out

Seeing the fall of the epidemic, Ms. Liang and her friends also took the children to visit Qiaozui Island.

She said that in the past six months due to the epidemic, she had never taken children to outlying islands, and the epidemic has recently dropped to a single-digit level, so she "rest assured little" to take the children out.

Ms. Leung emphasized that she will not relax completely because of this, and will keep the habit of wearing masks and using alcohol handrub.

The children all expressed "so happy" that they were finally able to go out. Ms. Liang said that the children had already started school and "know you don't want to touch around."

For "Jinhui Seafood," which is farther away from the pier, the restaurant's director Li Taizhi said that although business has improved recently, the magnitude has been minimal.

Business is difficult under the epidemic

The rise in the flow of people at the pier has also boosted the business of nearby restaurants.

For "Jinhui Seafood," which is farther away from the pier, the restaurant's director Li Taizhi, although business has improved recently, the extent is minimal. The reporter observed only two or three guests on site.

Li Taizhi said that in the first wave of the epidemic, the flow of people in Saigon has not dropped, and restaurants are still able to hold business, but the third wave of epidemics has greatly reduced the flow of people. The upper limit of gathering orders and the prohibition of dinning have been tried. There is only forty mosquito business." She described "business is difficult." Even if the epidemic drops, business has not improved effectively, and business in the night market is even worse.
