Hong Kong to Allow Dancing, Bigger Gatherings, in Reopening Push
- Authorities considering easing cap on public gatherings to 12
- Hong Kong has slowly started lifting some of its strict curbs
Hong Kong is set to remove more Covid-19 restrictions and will allow live performances and dancing to take place indoors from next Thursday as the city’s government considers increasing the limit on the number of people allowed to gather in public.
Theme park visitors will also be allowed to eat outdoors, though people dancing will be required to wear masks and performers will be required to be frequently tested and stay distanced from attendees. The public-gathering cap may also be eased so that a dozen people can meet, up from four currently, though this is subject to amendments to pandemic-related law clauses and an announcement will be made when the government confirms the plan, Libby Lee, Hong Kong’s under secretary for health, said in a briefing Thursday.
