In response to the Government's relaxation of social distancing measures starting today (21st), some leisure and cultural venues under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) have also reopened today.
At 10 o'clock this morning, the basketball court in Victoria Park, Causeway Bay, can already see groups of "Boyous" in groups of three and five, and people outside the jogging track are also using the unsealed fitness facilities.
A friend of Boo said, "After the closure, there was no slap in the face, and there was no feeling of baa," but the reopening of the basketball court was a blessing.

A reporter from "Hong Kong 01" visited Victoria Park this morning and found that after the basketball court was unblocked, many basketball fans, regardless of age, gathered to play basketball. They wore masks during the period, and the number of people did not exceed the limit.
The 24-year-old Mr. Lu pointed out that he was very happy about the unblocking of the basketball court, but at the same time, he had mixed feelings because he had not practiced for three months since the court was blocked, saying that he had "no feeling."
He said that although he has not been able to fight for a long time, he said that he will not fight for several days in a row because he has a "revenge" mentality.
Brian, who also hasn't played basketball since the court closed, is also happy that he has "played back." He said that he didn't do other sports to replace playing basketball during the closure, because "I like basketball, and I have the ball (sports). ) can play together first.”
Mr. Lu pointed out that he was very happy about the unblocking of the basketball court, but at the same time, he also had mixed feelings, because he had not practiced for three months since the court was blocked, and he bluntly said, "I don't feel good."

The basketball court was full of energy, and the 62-year-old Mr. Tong also enjoyed it.
He put on a half-face N95 mask and played basketball with passers-by whom he did not know.
He also said, "It's very important to get a third shot." Due to the seriousness of the epidemic, he has already received the third shot of the vaccine as a preventive measure.
During the epidemic, the fitness room was closed, and many fitness people turned to the streets to exercise. Mr. Li, 66, is no exception. He works out in Victoria Park every day.
He said, "I was surrounded by a lot of buildings before, so it was not convenient." Before, I had to find equipment to use anywhere in a wider area. Now that the fitness equipment is unsealed, "I feel good."

Mr. Li pointed out that "I was thirsty every day when I had the strongest explosion." During the epidemic, he never stopped going to the park to exercise, so even if the lockdown is lifted, it doesn't make much difference.
He has been vaccinated for three doses, "I will be shot if I need to." He pointed out that in addition to injections for prevention, he also exercised to strengthen his resistance.
He continued to point out that when he returned home, he would practice in the fitness room in the clubhouse. "A lot of equipment can't do it."
