The new round of epidemic prevention measures are based on the "vaccine bubble" and will be implemented today (29th). Among them, bar staff and guests must have received a dose of the new crown vaccine.
Qian Junyong, chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association, pointed out that the vaccinated citizens are mainly people over the age of 50 and are not the target customers of bars. It is estimated that even if they reopen, their business will drop to 10% of the past, and only half of the employees in the industry have been given the injection for the time being.
He reprimanded the government for failing to consider the living space of the bar industry. The industry will introduce measures to save itself, including distributing cash coupons and giving movie tickets to consumers.

Qian Junyong, chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association, pointed out that the new "vaccine bubble" measures have dealt a big blow to the industry, describing it as a "speculation" and the industry has "dead nowhere."
He said that the majority of the vaccinated citizens are people over the age of 50, and they are not the target customers of the bar industry. It is estimated that the business has dropped to 10% of the past.
30% of employees indicated that they did not want to be vaccinated
In addition, in the industry as a whole, that is, in about 1,100 bars, only half of the employees have been vaccinated. Among the remaining unvaccinated employees, three adults have indicated that they are unwilling to be vaccinated, and two adults are still waiting to be vaccinated.
As for the approximately 300 members of the association, that is, in the 500 bars, 70% of them have received injections, and 20% of employees are unwilling to be vaccinated.
Some bars even give 1,000 yuan to employees for injections, but some people still don't want to be vaccinated.
He said that the bar industry will face a shortage of manpower, and it is estimated that employees who are unwilling to get an injection may be fired in the future.
He said that he would not force employees who do not want to be vaccinated to get an injection, and that it is unfair to dismiss employees, but he said frankly that he does not understand how to deal with employees who do not get vaccinated.
He said that he would call the Labour Department to inquire whether it would violate the labor laws if the dismissal of employees who did not receive injections would violate labor laws.

The person in charge of the bar applies for a restaurant transfer license
Mr. Chen runs 3 bars and currently has about 20 employees, but only 8 of them are willing to be vaccinated.
He said that even if employees were provided with financial incentives and increased working hours for part-time employees, some people also stated that they would not get injections. "It's not that a small amount of money will change their minds." He said that they would not force employees to get injections, nor would they If employees are dismissed, employees who have not received injections will also be paid part of their salaries.
He said that for the time being, only one of the three branches will reopen tomorrow, because employees can only make an appointment for injections tomorrow.
He said that he had asked his friends and guests for their opinions. Most people would not give injections for drinking. It is estimated that after the reopening, the business volume has dropped to only 10%.
He said that although the landlord was able to reduce rent by 30 to 50% and rely on his savings to support his life, he has now converted the paper application to a restaurant license. It is expected that it will take one to two months to process the application.
He also said that bars will face a brain drain in the future, because many people have switched careers during the closure.
Only the Android version of the app promotes alternatives
Qian Junyong pointed out that the government provides applications for the industry to check vaccine records, but today only the Android version is available, and it needs to be downloaded through a dedicated link. It is understood that the iPhone version will be released as soon as next week.
He pointed out that in a meeting with the government earlier, he had proposed an alternative plan to deal with the possibility of errors in the application, but at that time the government stated that there would be no problems with the application.
He estimated that about 80% of bars will reopen today.
He urged the industry to operate as usual today, saying that the responsibility lies with the government’s failure to make preparations and "to understand that we should close the door." He also said that if there are customers who are vaccinated in China, they will not be entertained for the time being.

He criticized the government as a "grain needle" and failed to consider the living space of the bar industry. He believed that the government should consider the difficulties faced by the frontline when implementing policies.
He said that in the past few months, about 300 bars have closed, and preferential measures will be introduced for self-help, including the distribution of 100 yuan cash coupons through the app. There are currently about 100 bars participating; if customers spend more than 500 yuan electronically, they can pay Upload documents in exchange for movie tickets.
