Last updated: 2020-04-01 12:03The outbreak of new coronavirus pneumonia continues. The government announced earlier that it is forbidden to gather more than 4 people in the public environment, regulate the number of customers in restaurants to not exceed half of the total number of seats at the same time, and order the six types of venues, including theaters and billiard rooms, to cease operation. Two weeks later, karaoke and sparrow houses were not included. Recently, confirmed cases of "karaoke group" broke out.
It is reported that the Executive Council held a special meeting this morning (1st) and decided to close the karaoke and sparrow house for 14 days. The Secretary for Food and Health, Chen Zhaoshi, will include two types of establishments in the Schedule under the Prevention and Control of Diseases Ordinance, Chapter 599.

Executive Council member Tang Jiaxun said that he had asked officials about the problems of Ka La OK and Sparrow House. The officials explained that the license was involved, including that Ka La OK was a restaurant brand, and that Sparrow House was involved in gambling cards. Wherever high risks are involved, they should be closed or more restrictive.
Since the government introduced a restaurant "restriction order" and a public place "restriction order", karaoke that has been described as the most dangerous and vocal is not necessary to stop business. Recently, confirmed cases of "karaoke group" have been reported. People went to Tsim Sha Tsui Red MR Sing K last Tuesday (March 24). Five people have been diagnosed. It is understood that as of 1am today (1st), at least one confirmed diagnosis and 15 preliminary confirmed cases were added to Hong Kong, including a 33-year-old man from the karaoke group, which increased the group K to "7 in 6" .
