The government has extended social distancing measures, and the ban on dine-in in the evening market will continue until the third day of the new year. The industry can apply for the fifth round of anti-epidemic funds from today (17th).

Huang Jielong, honorary president of the Rice Seedling Society, said on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millennium Times" that if the ban on dine-in in the evening market lasts for a month, it is estimated that government subsidies can only cover half of the industry's losses. Once the measures continue to be extended, it will have a big impact on the catering industry .

Regarding the vaccine bubble to be implemented next month covering restaurants, Huang Jielong pointed out that law enforcement should be the responsibility of law enforcement, and the industry has no ability or need to act as law enforcement, and it is difficult to verify the authenticity of diners' injection cards.

The ban on dine-in in the evening market should not be too long. Huang Jielong: In a short period of time, everyone can keep the blood line and go to the hospital for a long time to die.

Huang Jielong said that he had already experienced the lethality of dine-in without the evening market. It is estimated that the restaurant business will generally decrease by 70%, but he emphasized that the measures cannot be durable: "Everyone keeps the blood line and goes to the hospital in a short period of time. Chinese restaurants and hotels for banquets will be the most affected, with only 10% of their business remaining; instead, it will benefit restaurants that specialize in takeaway business, such as fast food restaurants.

He believes that tightening social distancing measures for a long period of time is not the answer, and the public and the industry are quite tired.

The epidemic prevention fund only makes up half of the losses, and the epidemic prevention measures cannot predict the worst

Even if one can apply for the Anti-epidemic Fund, Huang pointed out that if the existing ban on dine-in in the market will continue until the third day of the new year, government subsidies can cover half of the industry's losses.

He believes that if the measures are to be continued until the fourth day of the new year, he bluntly said that the impact on the catering industry will be great.

Feeling at a loss for the suggestion of dismantling the partition, I hope the experts will discuss the appropriate method

Leung Cheuk-wai, a government expert advisor and Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong, suggested earlier that since the Omicron variant virus is highly likely to be airborne, the partitions of restaurants can only prevent droplets, so it is recommended that restaurants remove the partitions.

Huang Jielong described in the commercial TV program that he was at a loss, and pointed out that the restaurant area in Hong Kong is small, and it is practically impossible to ensure that there is sufficient distance between the stations. He also believes that the public has accepted that the restaurant has partitions, and hopes that experts will discuss the appropriate method, otherwise the industry And the citizens will be tired of fighting the epidemic.

As for the next, Huang Jielung expects that there will be measures to support the industry and the public, including the distribution of electronic consumer coupons.

Law enforcement should be the responsibility of law enforcement Huang Jielong: The industry has no ability or need to play a law enforcement role

Regarding the vaccine bubble to be implemented next month covering restaurants, Huang Jielong pointed out that the last meeting was on January 3, and the details are not known for the time being. I believe the authorities will discuss the implementation details with the industry again, and it is estimated that the relevant arrangements will be implemented throughout the day.

He added on the commercial TV program that law enforcement should be the responsibility of the law enforcement, and the industry is incapable and has no need to act as law enforcement, and if the restaurant needs to check every customer's pin card, it will have the greatest impact on the small restaurant: "Being a civil servant Knowing how the restaurant operates, we told him that the industry is really incapable and impossible to check the authenticity of the needle card. Fake people will bury the whole photo frame."
