The anti-epidemic measures tightened since last Friday (7th) will be further extended for two weeks until the third day of the Lunar New Year, that is, on the 3rd of next month. During this period, all restaurants in Hong Kong will be banned from dine-in, and designated premises such as fitness rooms will continue to be closed. , all flower markets in Hong Kong will also be cancelled.
Ho Chun-hsien, a member of the fishing and agricultural sector, questioned that canceling the flower market across the board allows the government to simply relieve its responsibilities, but instead asked, "Is the sacrifice of flower farmers really beneficial to society in fighting the epidemic?"
Ho Junxian pointed out, "If there is no flower market in Hong Kong, why don't Hong Kong people buy flowers? ... If you go to the flower market in Mong Kok to buy it, then the whole flower market group may come out." He further explained that after the cancellation of the flower market, the public will definitely turn to the flower market. Going to the flower market to buy flowers will make the flower market more "marketplace" and question whether it can achieve the effect of epidemic prevention.

In order to fight the epidemic, there must be cooperation: but there is no solution to the problem of crowd flow
In the afternoon of the Legislative Council Finance Council, Ho Chun-hsien said that if the government insists on going its own way, the flower farmers can only do it: "If there is a decision in the end... I will go back to talk to the flower farmers. The Chief Executive decides to be left, and we will resolutely implement it." He accepted the "Hong Kong" 01" When inquiring, he pointed out that he would cooperate in order to fight the epidemic, but the question is whether the sacrifice is worth it. For example, if banning dine-in in the evening market is not a one-size-fits-all approach in Hong Kong, "Well, he must go to a place to eat, so you can't solve it. The issue of the flow of people, the government doesn’t talk about it!” He worried that the flower farmers would only be “suffering loyalty” in the end, but it might not actually play a role in fighting the epidemic.
The FEHD will refund the stall owners in full after the suspension of the flower market in Hong Kong, and in the fifth round of the Anti-epidemic Fund will also give them an ex-gratia payment of half of the stall usage fee.
He Junxian pointed out that many local flower farmers were also implicated behind it. The plants and flowers that were originally intended to be sold at the flower market lost their sales. The government must consider how to make up for the omissions.
