The Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, held a press conference at 6 p.m. to announce that the ban on dine-in meals in the evening market and the closure of listed premises and other anti-epidemic measures will be extended for 14 days until the third day of the new year on the 3rd of next month.
In addition, large-scale events such as the New Year's Eve Flower Market, the Chinese New Year Market, and the HKTB's Spring Festival activities will be cancelled.
Lam also took the lead in predicting that unless the epidemic situation is significantly reversed, or there is a community outbreak, the regulated premises will be gradually relaxed, and "it will not remain closed for a long time."
However, she proposed the conditions for resumption of business, based on the "vaccine bubble" originally scheduled to be implemented on February 24, that is, visitors must get injections in advance, and the restrictions on restricted premises can be relaxed.

Chief Executive Carrie Lam said that the current epidemic is still not under control, and the risk of outbreak still exists, and announced an extension of social distancing measures for 14 days until the third day of the third day of next month, including banning dine-in in the evening market and closing listed premises.
Large-scale events such as the New Year's Eve Flower Market, the Chinese New Year Market, and the HKTB's Spring Festival activities will be cancelled.
In terms of "foreign defense import", the regional flight circuit breaker mechanism, the ban on flights from 8 countries, from January 8 to 21, will be extended to February 4.
Lin Zheng pointed out that she understands that the measures will disappoint many people. "Everyone originally expected a New Year with warm gatherings, but it may be difficult to achieve." However, she predicted that unless the epidemic situation is significantly reversed or there is a community outbreak, regulations will be gradually relaxed. "It will not be closed for a long time".
She also proposed conditions for resumption of business. Taking the beauty industry as an example, it must be based on the "vaccine bubble" originally scheduled to be implemented on February 24, that is, visitors must have an injection in advance, and the restrictions can be relaxed in restricted premises.
