During the epidemic, citizens now have to go to bars to have fun. In addition to using the "Travel with peace of mind" app, they must also receive at least one dose of the new crown vaccine.
A representative of the bar industry said that recently it has been discovered that some guests have used fake peace of mind trips and fake electronic pin cards and other serious problems, which have caused the premises to be implicated and will be closed. They believe that the practice is unfair and hope that the authorities will review and set up a relevant appeal mechanism.
The founding president of the Hong Kong Licensed Bars and Clubs Association, Leung Liren, stated today (18th) that according to current regulations, if guests in bars and restaurants do not use or use fake safe travel apps, in addition to the guests themselves, they will be fined 5,000 yuan. , Or committing the crime of using false documents, the person in charge of the premises visited will also be punished, including suspension of business for 14 days, a maximum fine of 50,000 yuan and six months' imprisonment.
Liang Liren said that as a bar industry, it is difficult to monitor the travel process of the guests one by one, or to trace the authenticity of their electronic pin cards. The authorities should not take the responsibility of customers using fake and safe travel to the industry.

Liang said that as a bar industry, it is difficult to monitor the travel process of the guests one by one, or to trace the authenticity of their electronic pin cards. The authorities should not shirk the responsibility of customers for using fake and safe travel. The penalty mechanism allows the industry to lodge an appeal.
He also mentioned that there were a number of large bars where guests deliberately falsely claimed that they did not travel with peace of mind during police inspections, causing the bars to be fined and closed. Some representatives of the bar industry pointed out that the bars were suspended for many times due to the severe epidemic last year, resulting in losses. Disastrous, if the business is closed for 14 days, the loss will be hundreds of thousands.
He also took other premises, such as the Leisure and Cultural Services Department’s swimming pool and the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department’s market as examples. If anyone is found to travel without a scandal, the person in charge of the premises will not be punished. He believes that the authorities’ actions are unfair.
Liang Liren also said that the epidemic has eased recently and it is hoped that the Hong Kong government can relax the current epidemic prevention measures and business hours restrictions on bars, karaoke and entertainment venues.
