The president of the Hong Kong Federation of Restaurants predicts the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival will be the worst in 20 years for the industry, RTHK reports. Simon Wong estimates business was up by almost 30 percent over the weekend, after social distancing measures were further relaxed. Wong said he noticed some restaurants that were not following the rules, and warned that if the pandemic spread, the sector would suffer. Wong said this would take a toll on the upcoming mid-autumn festival. "This would be one of the worst festivals we've had in 20 years."
