The Leisure and Cultural Services Department reminded citizens to take preventive measures when going to admire the Mid-Autumn Festival lighting. They must also wear masks during photographing and maintain proper social distance to avoid gatherings of more than four people.
In addition, since Victoria Park Football Stadium is only open for public viewing of the lights in the evening hours, citizens must use the "Travel with Peace" app or register their personal data on the spot and receive temperature measurements. The venue will implement crowd control measures. Entry is on a first-come, first-served basis. The conference will also temporarily suspend visitors from entering the venue according to the real-time situation, and a broadcast will be made.
