The government announced a few days ago that it will add two instructions to Chapter 599F of the law, including requiring restaurants to set up "enforcement" commissioners, and that restaurants need to change air at least 6 times an hour to ensure that there is enough fresh air.
Huang Jiahe, chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Catering Industry Association, said on the TV and Taiwan program this morning (3rd) that most restaurants are small and medium-sized, and it will be more difficult to free up staff or hire additional commissioners.
The K11 MUSEA restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui shopping mall "Mingchao Restaurant" was accused of substandard fresh air volume. Huang Jiahe said that the restaurant may not clean the dust-proof equipment regularly, which caused problems. However, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department is responsible for monitoring restaurant licenses. In theory, it is in line with environmental hygiene. I hope the FEHD will not shirk its responsibilities. I hope everyone will review it."

Huang Jiahe said that there are more than 16,000 restaurants in Hong Kong, and large groups have the resources to hire or mobilize staff to serve as "holding" commissioners. However, most of the local restaurants are small and medium-sized. If staff are vacated or additional "holdings" are hired The commissioner will be more difficult.
The FEHD pointed out earlier that if a restaurant cannot set up a "stand-by" commissioner due to restrictions, it is necessary to ensure that employees clean their hands after each round of stand-by work, including washing hands with alcohol-based handrub, washing hands or changing gloves.
Huang Jiahe said bluntly, "I don't oppose the government's actions, but I can do it."
He also said that restaurants have already had a lot of trouble in their operations. He believes that experts do not understand the operation process of the entire industry, such as whether the citizens themselves have done a good job in preventing epidemics.

For the K11 MUSEA restaurant, the fresh air volume of the famous restaurant is only one-third of the level required by the license.
Huang Jiahe said that the contractor may have problems, and the restaurant may not clean the dust-proof equipment regularly. However, the FEHD is responsible for monitoring and approving restaurant licenses. "The approval is theoretically in line with environmental hygiene. I hope the FEHD will not be good. I hope everyone will review it."
Huang Jiahe said that in order to ensure the fresh air volume of restaurants, restaurants can install high-efficiency particle air filtration facilities, and the facilities have different powers, and the price ranges from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.
He believes that the government should set clear guidelines and support the industry financially.
