The epidemic continued to slow down, and the bar industry finally reopened after more than 5 forced closures today (19th).
Many people came to have a drink during the "Happy Hour" in the evening. Some office workers believed that the government's social distancing measures were too strict, and the lack of "alcohol" in the past few months made people feel a lot of pressure; some bar owners admitted that they had "paid for nothing" It is rented for 4 months, and it is expected to be open for half a year to "recover blood", but I think that the consumption pattern of bar customers has changed under the epidemic, and we can only take a wait-and-see attitude towards the future.
Sheng Zhiwen, chairman of Lan Kwai Fong Group, pointed out that under the fifth wave of the epidemic, 10% of bars in Lan Kwai Fong closed, and many people lost their jobs. Although Hong Kong may face the sixth wave of the epidemic, the current vaccination rate and infection figures are high, and it is believed that even if the epidemic breaks out Not as serious as the fifth wave.

Office workers: Hong Kong people are under a lot of pressure, so they need to relax and scare
Mr. Du, an office worker, said that he used to have a "Happy Hour" with his colleagues after work, but in the past few months, he had not had a good time, and he was very disappointed. "I can finally drink a cup today, I am very happy." He pointed out that although there have been group outbreaks recently, but I hope the government will not tighten social distancing measures, because strict measures will only bring pressure to Hong Kong people.

He also pointed out that the epidemic has changed the consumption pattern of customers. "There are fewer people in the bar, and there are fewer Happy Hour people. They may return to the house after finishing work, or they may get used to playing Staycation."
Mr. Jian hopes that the government can further relax restrictions. "After all, the seats are limited, the number of people is limited, and the spending power is limited." But if the epidemic situation worsens, they can only operate according to the government's requirements. "They think the virus will be out after 6 o'clock. , I have nothing to say, I have to follow the rules, but I can't ignore the epidemic for doing business."
