Epidemic prevention measures | The bar will be bolted for two weeks on Friday and the federation hopes to compensate: the industry should pay for the epidemic prevention loopholes?

Omicron entered the Hong Kong community, and the fifth wave of the epidemic was on the horizon. The government will tighten epidemic prevention and social distancing measures from tomorrow (7th), and bars must be closed for at least 14 days.

The Federation of Licensed Bars and Clubs of Hong Kong issued a statement today (6th) criticizing the Hong Kong government for not having learned the third wave of experience and recurring foreign importation loopholes. It is frankly that the bar industry has been suffering from epidemic prevention and restrictions for consecutive months, and it has nothing to do with the government. With warnings and no consultation, I felt angry and frustrated about the "one size fits all" stop of the bar. I bluntly said that there was no reason to "pay the bill" every time, urging the Hong Kong government to compensate the rent and staff expenses during the suspension period.

The bar industry has been ordered to suspend business more than once during the epidemic.

The government is duty-bound to reproduce the loopholes in foreign defense imports: the industry’s long-term sacrifices have been ruined in vain

The Federation of Licensed Bars and Clubs of Hong Kong pointed out that the bar industry has been operating under epidemic prevention restrictions for months in a miserable manner, "stopping fast and slowing down every time", but this time the Hong Kong government has not learned the third wave of experience. The government is duty-bound to reappear a loophole in foreign defense imports. However, without warning or consultation, it once again asked for the closure of the bar on a “one size fits all” basis. This is "vainly ruining the industry’s long-term sacrifice for the epidemic." I feel frankly angry and helpless. I am not optimistic about whether I can reopen after 14 days.

No dine-in ｜From 1.7 onwards, restaurants will stop at 6 o'clock in the evening and dine-in in the city will be closed for two weeks and then karaoke in the theme park bar

The bar industry has experienced the longest suspension and suppression in the past two years, and each time it stopped fast and slowed down.

I am not optimistic about whether it will be able to reopen after being ordered to suspend business again for 14 days.

The Federation of Licensed Bars and Clubs of Hong Kong

The Federation stated that it understands that the government must urgently control the epidemic, but it should not "make the industry pay the bill again and again" without officials without accountability, and strongly urge the Hong Kong government to compensate the actual rent and employee wages during the suspension period.
