There have been outbreaks of new coronavirus infection clusters in two Central bars, and some bars have invited DJs to "create the atmosphere" at the scene, and there are videos on the Internet showing many people singing and dancing without masks.
Zhang Sumei, director of the Lan Kwai Fong Association, said that when the government formulated the legislation, it did not define whether DJ playing is a live performance. After inquiring with the FEHD, they were informed that DJ playing and playing music were live performances, and urged the government to clarify the legal requirements.

Customers have been reminded that they must wear masks. The industry takes it very seriously
Zhang Sumei said in Hong Kong and Taiwan's "Millennium Times" today (30th) that although the epidemic prevention measures in bars have been gazetted, they may not be listed item by item.
Regarding some people in the industry who questioned whether licensed DJs could be classified as performances, but did not have relevant guidelines, she said that she had inquired with the FEHD. , I hope the government will discuss with the industry, after balancing business and epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic aspects, allow DJs who keep a distance from guests and wear masks to continue to play songs.
Zhang also pointed out that the bar will provide mask covers when customers enter the venue. It has been reminded that masks must be worn. Government law enforcement agencies also conduct inspections from time to time. Once a customer is found to leave the seat without wearing a mask, the premises will be fined and closed, so it is taken very seriously, but There are still a small number of customers who forget to wear masks when they leave their seats or forget to wear masks during leisure time. The industry has been repeatedly reminded to strictly abide by the regulations.

Industry: The hard days of zero income are always in mind Most bars strictly abide by the rules
She believes that the bar industry has been hit hard by the epidemic, and the hard days of zero income will be remembered in her heart. Most bars have been strictly abiding by the government's epidemic prevention regulations, but there is a risk of virus transmission from person-to-person contact. She believes that citizens' vaccinations will build an effective barrier. It is controllable and in line with the requirements of epidemic prevention, customers can still visit the bar with peace of mind.
