In recent days, the weather has been fine and the temperature has picked up. Many indoor premises have been closed by the government due to the epidemic. During the holidays, a large number of people are not afraid of the epidemic and go to beaches such as Big Wave Bay and Shek O to play and surf.
According to sources, the LCSD will close the beaches as soon as this Thursday.
Looking through the information, as early as the third wave of the epidemic, the LCSD had closed the beach.
In response to the enquiry, the LCSD said that if the latest epidemic prevention arrangements are available, an announcement will be made in due course.

According to sources, the LCSD will close the beaches as soon as this Thursday.
In response to the "Hong Kong 01" enquiry, the department pointed out that if the latest epidemic prevention arrangements are available, an announcement will be made in due course.
The LCSD once "closed the beaches" during the third wave of the epidemic. From July 2022, the beaches under its jurisdiction were closed for more than three months, and all toilets and changing rooms were closed until November 3 of that year.
However, under the fifth wave of the epidemic, the government has significantly tightened the restrictions on gatherings, and the beaches have not been closed.
Hong Kong still recorded more than 27,000 confirmed cases in a single day today. Reports about citizens gathering at beaches have aroused dissatisfaction among Shenzhen residents who were locked down, and criticized by local politicians.
