Sparrow House owner: The authorities are not fair
The representative of the proprietor of the Sparrow Pavilion, Zhang Jianing, said on the radio program "Millennium Times" this morning that sparrows are considered cultural heritage, and the operation of a sparrow pavilion is a normal business. The practice is "unfair".
He mentioned that the mahjong pavilion has been closed many times without any confirmed cases during the epidemic. "Our risk is very low." Reopen when social distancing measures are relaxed in stages.
Hope Sparrow Pavilion reopens all seats
As for whether to relax the reopening in the next stage, he said frankly: "I don't dare to talk about confidence, it's all about self-seeking happiness." When the business resumed last year, only 50% of the seats were taken, and later it was relaxed to 75%. It is hoped that if the business resumes in the future, it can be fully Open all seats. Even if it can't be done, he doesn't want to open only 50%. "We have done a great job." He also hopes that the Hong Kong government can follow Singapore's anti-epidemic methods.

He also mentioned that the Sparrow House has taken many measures when it resumed business last year, such as cleaning between each set of sparrows, asking guests to take their body temperature, and sanitizing their hands with alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
If we can resume business in the future, we may require employees to take a quick test every day before going to work, but I think it is difficult to ask each guest to wait for more than ten minutes before entering the venue to take a quick test.
Most of the mahjong pavilions are still able to operate and rely on the owner's deposits to make a profit
Zhang Jianing pointed out that at present, most of his employees have to leave their jobs without pay and find other part-time jobs to support themselves. It can still operate, but it relies on "payment of money". The owner uses the savings to pay for the business expenses. The government's subsidies for epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic are only a drop in the bucket. Can't answer."
