Last updated: 2020-03-28 21:09The outbreak of new coronavirus pneumonia (commonly known as Wuhan pneumonia) has continued to expand, with a cumulative total of 561 cases in Hong Kong. The government announced a series of requirements for restaurants and bars yesterday, including a maximum of 4 people per table, no more than half the number of seats, and a distance of 1.5 meters between the table.
In addition to the citizens who go out for meals, the affected people also include newlyweds who hold wedding banquets. Under the new rules, when a newcomer is hosting a wedding banquet in Tsim Sha Tsui Huang Mansion tonight (28th), he can no longer entertain guests with "a perimeter of 12 people". The venue is changed to 4 people per table, and the layout is more like Western food. The groom confessed that he had prepared psychologically for a special wedding banquet. "And the guests of the house are all pretending to be low-minded and go away. The first day may not be another party."

On the first day of implementation of the new law, the Prevention and Control of Diseases (Requirements and Instructions) (Business and Premises) Regulations (Regulations) (Cap. 599F), new couples who have hosted wedding receptions are affected. The reporter went to Tsim Sha Tsui's Huangfu Mansion in the evening and found that a couple of people who "put wine" there made a lot of special arrangements for the venue to meet the requirements of the new law.
At the entrance of the wedding banquet, reporters have seen staff taking temperature measurements for guests, and a notice has been posted at the door, stating that in response to the government's announcement, the restaurant is limited to four people at 6pm tonight, and diners need to wear masks. Entering the wedding banquet venue, you can see a large round table that can usually accommodate 10 to 12 people. All of them have been changed into small round tables, each of which has only four seats. Very spacious.

Mr. Gong, the groom's brother, said that he had made psychological preparations and had special arrangements for the wedding banquet. He only officially contacted the restaurant this morning about the government's implementation of the "four people, one Taiwan" measure. He originally planned to use only half of the hall, but the restaurant was willing to cooperate and use the entire venue for the wedding. The original plan was to place 10 banquet seats.
At 7:30 in the evening, guests came to the table one after another, but there were not many people. Many of them left after eating just one cake. Zhong said, "In fact, all the arrangements are made by the restaurant. I do n’t think so. (Outbreak situation), everyone will know that they will be full ... and all the guests in the house will pretend to be low-quality and go away, and they may not have another party on the first day. "
