Last update date: 2020-07-27 17:17The third new crown pneumonia epidemic continues to break out. The Executive Council decided today (27th) that on Wednesday (29th) dining in restaurants will be completely banned; and citizens must wear masks in outdoor places.
Regarding the new measures, some citizens engaged in property management bluntly objected that they are very inconvenient because they cannot "sit low and eat slowly" due to the limitation of the workplace. They are worried that they will have to eat faster afterwards and cause stomach pain.
However, some members of the public said that after the outbreak, they have become accustomed to take-out food and believe that the measures are acceptable. As the epidemic continues to erupt, the government needs to increase its severity.

The reporter visited the Admiralty Centre in Admiralty this afternoon. There are still many people dining in. Most of the restaurants have half the occupancy rate, which is the upper limit of the current regulations. At the scene, many citizens also bought takeaways.
A man who did not want to be named and engaged in property management in Mid-Levels expressed his opposition to a total ban on dine-in and found it very inconvenient. He said that due to the constraints of the work environment, it is not possible to sit down and eat takeaway for a long time. After the implementation of the new regulations, takeaways can only be brought back to the workplace to eat as quickly as possible, but frankly: "It will actually cause stomach pain."
He continued that his family members have never been able to cook. Since the epidemic, they have mainly patronized restaurants for dine-in. "You can sit down and sigh slowly." It has been different. He believes that the third wave of the epidemic originated from people who were exempted from quarantine, criticizing the government for failing to close customs. On the contrary, restaurants have been observing regulations to maintain hygiene. At present, dine-in is completely prohibited. The arrangement is inappropriate.
Regarding the need to wear masks outdoors, he questioned whether it is feasible and law enforcement agencies may not have enough manpower. At that time, three people outside the Admiralty Center were smoking cigarettes and they were not wearing masks. He said, "You are going to be doing it."

Citizen Boom: A small group of people are harmed by ordinary citizens
Another Mr. Chen, who works in Admiralty, also believes that most people and restaurants are very self-disciplined, and the ban on food will cause inconvenience and is unnecessary. He believes that too many people now have privileges to be exempt from quarantine, and loopholes appear. "The virus is treated equally." However, he also understands that some cross-border drivers do bring necessary supplies to Hong Kong. The government should consider how to adjust measures. He criticized: "The misconduct of a small group of people has harmed ordinary citizens."
Mr. Sun, who works in an office in Admiralty, holds the opposite view. He has mainly patronized takeaways during the epidemic and believes that it will not have much impact. Even if it is inconvenient for some people, it is necessary to tighten measures under the epidemic. He believes that depending on the situation, some outdoor people may be exempted from wearing masks. "Thousands of prayers do not affect others."
Another member of the public, Mr. Ho, also agrees with the new measures, but most people still have to work, worrying that "everyone will go to a certain place for takeout."
