Hong Kong / Health & Environment Hong Kong third wave: officials scrap coronavirus-related ban on eating in restaurants after just 24 hours City’s restaurants were told they could only serve takeaway as part of stringent measures to combat Covid-19Number of new infections in triple digits for ninth day in a row Lilian Cheng and Zoe Low Published: 12:09pm, 30 Jul, 2020 Coronavirus Record 145 Covid-19 cases in Hong Kong trigger toughest preventive steps yet 28 Jul 2020 30 Jul 2020 Coronavirus Hong Kong’s Covid-19 tally exceeds 3,000 with 118 new infections, 1 death Coronavirus News Hong Kong lockdown warning as Covid-19 cases spike, with 73 new infections Hong Kong virus strain ‘may not be mutating’, making it more infectious 29 Jul 2020 Hong Kong bans all dine-in services at restaurants in attempt to contain third wave of Covid-19 Hong Kong’s all-day ban on eating in restaurants will last just 48 hours, after the government caved in to public pressure on Thursday and reversed its earlier decision, which was made following a spike in local Covid-19 cases. The U-turn came as the city registered another record high 149 newly confirmed coronavirus cases , the ninth straight day of triple-digit rises. The quick change in policy on dining in at breakfast and lunchtime followed widespread criticism after workers were forced to eat by the side of the road on Wednesday, when the ban took effect. Dine-in services will return for those times from Friday. As before, restaurants will be allowed to offer takeaway food only from between 6pm and 5am. “After reviewing the actual situation of the catering business [on Wednesday] with the suspension of dine-in meals, the government understands the inconvenience and difficulties that the measure will bring to employees,” the government said in a statement. People eat their meals on the street in Central on Wednesday.

The spokesman reiterated the purpose of the full-day suspension had been to prevent the virus spreading in the community. “The government once again strongly urges employers to allow their employees to work at home as much as possible, so as to reduce the chance of a large number of employees gathering at breakfast and lunch,” he said.
