Hong Kong to ban all tourist arrivals, weighs suspension of alcohol sales
HONG KONG - Hong Kong said on Monday it was stopping all tourist arrivals and transit passengers at its airport and was considering suspending the sale of alcohol in some venues, joining cities around the world in the battle to halt the coronavirus.
An emotional Lam said many people took off their masks in bars and “even have intimate acts when they are tipsy”, increasing the risk of cross-infection. The measures come two days after the government warned a spike in the number of people returning to the region infected with coronavirus could lead to a large community outbreak.
