In view of the development of COVID-19 epidemic situation in Hong Kong, the Government announces December 8 that it will further tighten social distancing measures with effect from December 10, 2020 for a period of 14 days to December 23, 2020, and will extend the expiry dates of various regulations under the Prevention and Control of Disease Ordinance (Cap. 599) to March 31, 2021.
A spokesman for the Food and Health Bureau said, "Hong Kong is experiencing a peak period of COVID-19 epidemic."
Although the Government has tightened social distancing measures since December 2 to suppress the latest wave of the epidemic, the Government has not observed significant reduction of gathering activities in the community.
It is imperative to adopt more stringent measures in order to discourage members of the public from going out unnecessarily.
