Chen Zhaoshi, director of the Hong Kong Food and Health Bureau, said that the preliminary effect of epidemic prevention measures in the past few days is expected to gradually relax the epidemic prevention restrictions on the fourth year of the New Year.
According to the Sing Tao Daily, the Hong Kong Government announced the extension of the social distance measures to the third day of the Lunar New Year before the day before (14th).Chen Zhaoshi said in the radio program today that the measures in the past few days have been initially effective. The fourth day of the New Year's Eve is expected to gradually relax the restrictions on epidemic prevention.
She said that she has begun to discuss with the restaurants to re -open the food in the evening, and the relevant policy bureaus will also contact other places.Chen Zhaoshi said that gradually relaxing is a more cautious approach, balanced risks, the needs of the citizens, and the industry.
Chen Zhaoshi said that the community is still hidden in the chain, and the epidemic is not fully controlled.Only when various indicators show that the epidemic is relatively controlled in the future, can there be conditions to relax measures.
In order to strengthen the risk of preventing Omikon's outbreak, the Hong Kong Government decided the day before yesterday, the social distance measures were originally scheduled to implement tightening from January 7th to 20th.Including restaurants to continue to ban the food in the evening, it means that Hong Kong people will not be able to eat New Year's Eve with their families this year.
