Hong Kong’s new crown pneumonia has entered the fourth wave. The government announced the tightening of social distancing measures, including bars, pubs, party rooms, bathrooms, nightclubs, and nightclubs from tomorrow (26), which must be closed until next Wednesday (Dec 2).

Leung Li-jen, the founding chairman of the Federation of Licensed Bars and Clubs in Hong Kong, criticized that the outbreak had nothing to do with bars, but it was outraged by the industry's "surgery". He was worried that the "employment protection" plan would be closed after the completion of the plan. He urged the government to change the regulations and only required The bar where the accident occurred was closed and subsidies were provided.

The bar industry is in the cycle of the epidemic

Leung Li-jen, the founding chairman of the Federation of Licensed Bars and Clubs in Hong Kong, described in a commercial TV program "Starting on a Sunny Day" today (25) that the government announced that the bar would be closed, making the industry feel helpless and indignant.

He questioned that the bar industry has strictly abided by the government's anti-epidemic regulations. The source of the outbreak has nothing to do with the bar, but it has been "stabbed", putting the bar industry in the cycle of the epidemic.

Liang Liren believes that it is not appropriate to "seal the border between the two sides". It is not suitable for one size fits all. It is straightforward to say that if it is forced to stop operations from time to time, it will be difficult for the industry to operate, and it is difficult for the Christmas business to have special expectations. Even if it is reopened in time, it will only barely operate. As the second round of the "Ensure Employment" plan under the anti-epidemic fund is about to come to an end, he believes that there will be a wave of bar closures: "There will be no more subsidies when they expire.

Zhang Sumei criticizes the government for not "prescribing the right medicine" and closing bars is unreasonable

The director of Lan Kwai Fong Association Zhang Sumei also stated in the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums" that the outbreak of the dancing group caused the epidemic to spread. The government should formulate strict measures for dancing venues and choose to close bars that have only seen sporadic cases in recent months. Karma feels extremely regretful and disappointed, which is described as unreasonable and unreasonable.

Zhang Sumei pointed out that the bar industry has been without work for more than three months, and the owner still has to "pay high rent" and "pay for food" with zero income. This is already catastrophic. The government's epidemic prevention measures have not "prescribed the right medicine", and the industry bears the brunt. Impact, questioning why the authorities are particularly harsh on the industry.

She emphasized that the industry has been actively cooperating with the government. About half of the members of the Lan Kwai Fong Association have registered for the "Travel with peace of mind" application, and they are also studying the feasibility of using drinking straws for drinking.
