Dining out banned in Hong Kong amid stricted coronavirus measures

Description

Hong Kong, Jul 29 (EFE/EPA).- At 5.57pm on Tuesday in Hong Kong, a masked waiter at a restaurant in the Asian city’s core business district told several tables of wine-sipping guests: “You have three more minutes. Enjoy while it lasts.” When the clock struck 6pm, everyone stood up and headed for the exit, rather reluctantly. Some hugged and said to each other: “Take care. See you soon, hopefully.” The scene was redolent of a pre-Christmas holiday drink among friends or colleagues, except that the atmosphere was tainted by a sense of frustration and anxiety.In the face of a resurgence of coronavirus infections, Hong Kong authorities announced further restrictions on Monday, including a ban on restaurant dining, reducing public gatherings from four to two people and mandatory face masks in all public places, indoor and outdoor.
