Hong Kong said it will extend restaurant hours, double the number of people allowed to sit at one table, and reopen certain venues beginning Thursday, formalizing its plan to roll back restrictions as cases dwindled during the Chinese New Year.
Restaurants will be permitted to extend dining-in services until 10 p.m., four hours longer than the current limit, Secretary for Food and Health Sophia Chan said in a briefing Tuesday. The city will allow four people to sit at the same table in restaurants, up from the current limit of two.
