Recently, the mutated strain of the new coronavirus, Omikron, "infiltrated" the Hong Kong community, and multiple transmission chains broke out in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong SAR government subsequently announced tightening of epidemic prevention measures.

From January 7th, restaurants will be completely banned from dine-in from 6:00 pm to 5:00 am the next day for a period of 14 days.

  The reporter saw on the streets of Hong Kong that day that some stores offered a 20% discount for takeaways, and some diners lined up outside the restaurant to wait for takeaways. Most of the restaurants were empty, with only a few waiters taking care of them in the store.
