Hong Weimin's birthday party, a representative of the Hong Kong People's Congress, broke out, and more and more guests came. The Department of Health announced that the number of known people had increased to 214, and the newly diagnosed female horse owner was not on the invited list, which greatly increased the risk of transmission.

The restaurant can accommodate up to 100 to 150 seats
According to the restaurant introduction and internal photos, "Hong Kong 01" restored the restaurant's usual seating map, and found that it can only accommodate 100 to 150 seats at most. According to the requirements of Category D restaurants, the occupancy rate should not exceed the usual number of seats.
The party was held in a flowing style, and Lam said that more than 200 guests attended at different times that night, and the number of people obviously far exceeded the capacity of the restaurant.
She said that she had seen the photos and calculations shown in the news report, and said that although the D-type restaurant was allowed to use its full capacity, she asked the restaurant in question, "Can the restaurant handle (more than) 200 people at the same time?"
The restaurant has a maximum of 100 to 150 people on weekdays, and the number of Hong Weimin's birthday party is suspected to exceed the usual number of seats in the restaurant.
On that day, Hong Weimin and other guests did not wear masks and left their seats when they were not eating.
