The epidemic has rebounded recently, rising to a level of more than 700 to 800 cases.

However, while the epidemic prevention measures in bars have been tightened, the regulations on wearing masks have been relaxed. Anyone during the event, such as the officiating guest or speaker, does not need to wear a mask when giving a speech to the audience or guests.

For example, the situation is of great concern.
The government continues to point out that the existing social distancing measures will generally continue, but from June 16, citizens must present a negative certificate of the new speed test within 24 hours before entering bars, nightclubs and other places.
