| Dining in after 6pm remains prohibited for two more weeks |
The government announced late on Wednesday that it is extending
the strictest social distancing measures ever put in place for another two
weeks, or from Thursday until Apr 20.
This means, keeping rules such as allowing no more than two people to gather and eat together in public, banning dine-in services at restaurants after 6pm, prohibiting multi-household gatherings and preventing religious or any such mass gatherings.

Bars, gyms, cinemas, beaches, amusement parks and other entertainment venues will remain closed.
However, performance venues can be opened for rehearsals, online streaming or recorded performances without live audience; and sports facilities and swimming pools can be used for the training of Hong Kong athletes.

The government said in its statement that the gradual relaxation of the rules starting from Apr 21 will depend on whether the infection situation continues to ease.
In the pipeline are the reopening of restaurants for dine-in services at dinnertime, allowing up to four people to gather in public, and the reopening of certain premises by phases.

Meantime, the extension of the restrictions means people will not be able to gather in larger numbers over the long Easter holiday, which will last from Apr 15 to Apr 18.
