The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia in Hong Kong has been repeated, and theaters and other places have been closed for a long time.

The Hong Kong Theater Chamber of Commerce stated today (21) that it had written to the Chief Executive, Chief Secretary for Administration and other officials last week, requesting discussions and communication with the theater industry, hoping to resume business under conditional restrictions; Thousands of employees are saved from unemployment and their families can transition to the new year."

The Chamber of Commerce has also promised that if it reopens, it will limit half of the seats; employees and audiences must also wear masks and stipulate that eating and drinking are not allowed in the theater.

The Chamber of Commerce believes that the flow of people is "less than the daily attendance rate of the Department of Health's epidemic prevention press conference", and the risk is far lower than that of flower markets and restaurants.

The Theater Chamber of Commerce stated today that as of January 27, theaters had been closed for 142 days in the past year, describing it as "scarred" and that all theaters would close down if they were closed again.

The Chamber of Commerce has also written to the Chief Executive and other officials, hoping to allow the resumption of business next week under certain conditions.

The Chamber of Commerce gave an example that the government can limit the number of seats that can only be opened after the reopening; no more than four consecutive seats in the same row of seats can be occupied; employees and spectators must wear masks; lengthen the interval time for cleaning And disinfection; posting the "Travel with peace of mind" QR code and calling on visitors to scan the QR code, and regular inspections by employees.

According to the Chamber of Commerce, according to the data on the number of attendances at the theater’s reopening after its closure last year, the attendance rate for the first reopening was only 11.6%, and the second reopening was only 16.3%. It bluntly stated that “the traffic is actually higher than the attendance at the daily press conference of the Department of Health on epidemic prevention The rate is even lower."

Therefore, it is hoped that the government can allow the theater to reopen after the 7-day suspension order (that is, next Wednesday), so that "the theater staff can survive the Chinese New Year holiday."
