(ANSA) - BEIJING, NOV 30 - Hong Kong launches another operational close from December 2 in efforts to contain the wave of Covid-19, limiting meetings in public places to two people, closing karaoke and arcades, and asking for more city administration employees to work from home, with the exception of emergency services workers.
In the aftermath of the announcement of school closures for the rest of the year in favor of online classes, Governor Carrie Lam commented that the next few weeks will be critical: "I hope the people of Hong Kong remain tolerant."
Gyms and sports centers will remain open, but only to a maximum of two people at a time, while the massage and beauty and massage salons will be operational.
The restaurants will close at 10pm, but always have no more than two people per table, while the bars in Hong Kong have already been closed.
Lam reported that the former colony today registered 76 new cases of contagion from Covid-19, down from 115 on Sunday, but about half related to ballrooms, bringing the total in the city of 7.4 million inhabitants to over 6,300. since the outbreak of the pandemic, with 109 deaths.
Violation of the rule will result in a fine of at least HK $ 4,000, or US $ 516.
