The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong continues. Some media reported recently that a government source revealed that scanning for "safe travel" before entering the government headquarters is only a pilot. After the government is considering relaxing restrictions on restaurants, it requires the relevant person in charge to ensure that the public scans "with peace of mind" Travel".

The catering industry believes that even if restaurants are willing to cooperate with the measures, there are difficulties in implementation. For example, the customers of Chinese restaurants are too old and may not know how to use smartphones.

At the same time, some citizens are unwilling to use "Travel with peace of mind", worrying that they might reduce their eating out and reduce their business in disguise.

"Doesn't I welcome the elderly to drink tea?"

Huang Jielong, president of the "Rice Seedling Society", a catering industry organization and head of chain restaurants, said he is willing to cooperate with the government's measures to "travel with peace of mind", but believes that the authorities must consider implementation details.

For example, a connoisseur who runs a Chinese restaurant once said to him that the older tea customers may not know how to use smartphones, or even only the safety clock phones. "Is the elderly people not welcome to drink tea?"

Restaurants have no right to enforce the law and appeal to the government to refute rumors to citizens

Huang also pointed out that restaurants have no power to enforce the law and there is invisible pressure on enforcement.

He explained that the current business volume of the catering industry has been damaged, and said with a smile that "someone is willing to help me and has to kneel down, thank you."

Therefore, when the diners claim that they have scanned the QR code, they can only believe, "There are no reasons to force people to unlock it and check out the microphone."

Huang suggested that the government can explain to the public the practical effects of "traveling with peace of mind" in detail, and increase the people's desire to use it.

"Our observation system is not used by many people. At the beginning, some people are eager to use it, and then it becomes less and less."

Concerned about measures causing conflicts between restaurants and the public

Lin Ruihua, the convener of the Hong Kong Small and Medium Enterprise Food Store Alliance, said that although he did not receive relevant information, he believed that the measure was expected.

However, he bluntly said that the measures have caused conflicts and conflicts between the store and the diners in disguise, and even some diners were unwilling to use "Travel with peace of mind" to reduce going out and cook on their own. In the end, they turned out to be self-conscious.

Lin suggested that the government can post QR codes on lamp posts and other public facilities outside restaurants to reduce conflicts.

However, he believes that the government’s credibility is low under the current "high-handed rule". Although the information on "travel with peace of mind" is only stored on mobile phones, the public does not believe it and is unwilling to cooperate.

"No one in our restaurant has ever scanned (QR code)."

Citizen: They are all set off

Ms. Chen said that although she did not download "Travel with peace of mind", if the government forces the public to use it, she will be willing to cooperate. "It's all set off." When asked why the program was not downloaded, she said that she paid attention to the list of confirmed buildings and restaurants. , Will avoid high-risk areas.

She also believes that people who don't know how to use mobile phones are only a small number. "My parents know how to use smartphones at the age of 70. I know that there are old people who don't have mobile phones. The government will think about it."

Mr. Tao pointed out that "Travel with peace of mind" has been installed, and it is also used when going to a restaurant for dinner.

He believes that "travel with peace of mind" can track the whereabouts of patients and is of certain use, saying that citizens should cooperate with the government.

"If you don't cooperate, it won't help the epidemic. If you don't cooperate, it will be a failure, but if you don't cooperate, you will be blamed."
