The government announced that it will tighten epidemic prevention measures from tomorrow (2nd), including reinstatement of the gathering order to 2 people, banning food in restaurants after 10pm, and closing karaoke, swimming pools, mahjong halls and other premises. Most civil servants work from home .
The fitness center and sports premises will remain open, but only two people can work in groups.
The Secretary for Food and Health, Chen Zhaoshi, expressed on a TV and TV program today (1st) that she hopes to tighten the measures more accurately. She quoted the Chinese University survey showing that the risk of transmission in entertainment venues is the highest, and there are fewer gatherings in fitness centers and sports premises. In addition, the two-person restriction has been tightened and the inability to exercise will also affect the physical and mental health of the public, so it has not been closed.
In addition, she said on the commercial channel program that outdoor sports are also restricted to two people in groups, but the mask requirement is exempted depending on the severity.
As for the Chief Executive Carrie Lam's announcement yesterday that the fixed penalty for violating the epidemic prevention regulations will be "doubled", Chen Zhaoshi said that the increase in fines has not yet been finalized, but it must have a deterrent effect.

Chen Zhaoshi said that there is a transmission chain in the community, but traffic data shows that the flow of people has returned to the level before the epidemic, so the authorities have to implement measures to significantly reduce the flow of people.
She believes that the tightening measures of restaurants have different responses. She understands the needs of the public and the government hopes that the tightening measures will be more precise.
Chen Zhaoshi quoted the CUHK investigation as saying that entertainment venues have the highest risk of transmission, but there are fewer gatherings in fitness centers and sports premises. The tightening of restrictions on two persons' activities is already strict, and the inability to exercise will also affect the physical and mental health of the public.
Chen Zhaoshi also pointed out that some industries are dissatisfied with others who do not abide by the rules. After setting up a hotline for reporting violations, they hope to improve the situation and allow everyone to discipline themselves.
Regarding designated hotels for quarantine, Chen Zhaoshi said that apart from Silka Tsuen Wan, another one is still under discussion.
The Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, has announced that the fixed penalty for violating the epidemic prevention regulations will be "doubled." Chen Zhaoshi said that the increase in the fine has not yet been finalized, but it must have a deterrent effect.
