HONG KONG: Rugby fans in the stands at November's Hong Kong Sevens will be allowed to drink, but not eat, with masks having to be worn between sips, an official said on Monday .
But in contrast to most of the world's major sporting events, strict coronavirus measures will be in place including a Beijing Olympics-style"closed-loop" system for players. While drinking will be allowed in the stands, eating will be limited to specific"eating outlets" instead.
