The Government further extended 14 days of social distancing measures such as dine-in ban for dinner and closing listed premises to the third day of February 3. Mr Wong Kit-lung, Honorary President of the Institute of Dining, said the industry has experienced no dinner dine-in. It is estimated that 70% of business will be lost, with banquets, Chinese restaurants and hotels down to only 10%.

Mr Wong said on the radio programme that the fifth round of the Anti-epidemic Fund (Anti-epidemic Fund) started today (17 April). Mr Wong believes that if the subsidy is calculated by stopping dinner for one month, he believes that if the restaurant fails to return to market on the fourth day of the year, the loss will continue to expand.

There are experts that if you restart the early market, you need to consider whether the restaurant should not use GLP and replace it with 1.5m social distancing measures. Mr Wong said the proposal was generally not feasible by the industry because there were fewer people in Hong Kong in reality.
