Hong Kong should not ease restrictions on evening dining in at restaurants just yet, a government adviser on the coronavirus epidemic believes, in response to reports that the ban imposed on July 15, may be eased.. Restaurants are not allowed to offer dine-in between 6:00pm and 5:00am. The source of infection of many patients is unknown, he said. From the perspective of prevention and control, it is not the time to relax the epidemic prevention measures. He understands that the government needs to balance economic considerations with the needs of the people.
