Covid-19: Hong Kong to relax gathering limit to 4 people from midnight as online vaccine registration ‘fully booked’


Hong Kong’s social gathering limits will be relaxed from two to four people on Wednesday as the city’s fourth wave of Covid-19 infections eases. The new rules will take effect at midnight.

“Taking into account… the need for society as a whole to resume social and economic activities, we announced earlier to continue to relax social distancing measures in a gradual and orderly manner,” a spokesperson for the Food and Health Bureau said.

The news came as online bookings for Hong Kong’s city-wide vaccination scheme began on Tuesday. The quota for the first two weeks of the programme was “fully booked” as of Tuesday evening, according to the government website.
