[Explanation] As of 0:00 on July 29, Hong Kong has confirmed more than 100 cases of new coronary pneumonia every day for 8 consecutive days, and the total number has exceeded 3,000. The SAR government's anti-epidemic measures have been tightened again. July 29 was the first day of Hong Kong’s new round of anti-epidemic measures. On that day, all restaurants in Hong Kong banned dine-in meals and only provided takeaway services. This is what Hong Kong has done in recent decades. the first time.

　　[Explanation] Outside a well-known restaurant on Hong Kong Island, the opening hours of the takeaway are posted on the door, and the ordering list is placed on the shelf next to it for diners to pick up; the bustling restaurant in the past is very deserted at this moment, and the hall is even with chandeliers. Not open.

　　To this day, many people come to ask if they can drink morning tea, because our door is open. I told them that they are going to see the government. The government announced that you can drink morning tea. You can come up. It is useless if you come up now. Now they only serve takeaways.

　　[Explanation] Affected by the epidemic, the SAR government once restricted the catering industry to "provide only half of the seats," and then tightened it to "no dine-in from 6pm to 5am", and finally banned dine-in for a week.

　　Normally, before the epidemic began, our turnover at this time was not comparable to the current one, which was 1:0. Before, our shop used at least 30 buddies, but now there are only five or six together. There is nothing to do for five or six.

　　[Explanation] "Drinking morning tea and reading the newspaper" is the habit of many Hong Kong people. Nowadays, dine-in is completely prohibited, which makes many people uncomfortable. Mr. Ho, a Hong Kong citizen, told reporters that he was almost 60 years old. This is the first time he has seen a total ban on dining in so many years.

　　[Explanation] And only providing takeaways also caused some troubles to some special pearl crowds. One of them is the taxi driver who travels around all day.

　　(Before) Of course it's better. Be free and eat more easily. (Now) Bring lunch on the car, and I'm done.

　　Of course, when guests come to eat, they will be covered immediately. Now if there are guests, they will win. If the guests do not eat, they will cover the lunch box and do business first.

　　[Explanation] Near noon, there are long lines in front of many restaurants, and the staff are skilled in packing, and customers leave in a hurry after receiving the takeaway. On the seats next to the mall and the flower beds under the overpass, you can see people opening the take-out box and eating on the spot.

　　[Explanation] The epidemic prevention measures that took effect that day also included no more than 2 people gathering outdoors; masks must be worn outdoors; stadiums, swimming pools, etc. must be closed. The government calls on employers to implement flexible work arrangements and citizens try to stay at home. It can be seen from the scene that the busy streets in the past have significantly reduced the flow of people, and there are no more people gathering in groups.

　　[Explanation] The epidemic has changed the living habits of many people, as well as their lifestyles. However, in the face of the inconvenience caused by the epidemic prevention measures, the people of Hong Kong are united and walk together.

　　It should be at least isolated from infection. Hello everyone, just bear it.

　　【Hong Kong citizens】

　　Whether it is 7 days or not is not important. The most important thing is to fix the epidemic. For the time being, everyone bear with it.

　　[Concurrent] Hong Kong taxi driver
