HONG KONG (Reuters) – Hong Kong is moving towards a further relaxation of social gathering restrictions related to the coronavirus, Chief Executive Carrie Lam said before a cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
While many curbs have been gradually lifted in recent months, Hong Kong’s borders remain almost fully closed and group gatherings are limited to eight people. Any further easing of the measures could be announced later in the day.
