[17:15] Xu Deyi, deputy director of the Food and Health Bureau, said that in the past, when the epidemic was more under control, different places would allow weddings to be held. However, in addition to legal persons, relatives and friends will be present to celebrate the wedding, so there is a limit on the number of people, and the wedding is a group gathering There will be risky scenarios.

This time the epidemic is severe, and measures should be strengthened. At first, I thought that the wedding should not be carried out. However, considering that ordinary people may not be divided into the subtle difference between wedding and registration, some people may not necessarily need a celebration ceremony, but a legal process is required, so it must be written carefully. The law needs to take care of the needs of marriage registration, so it is clearly stated on the Internet that registration under the Marriage Ordinance is allowed, which can meet the registration needs.
