Hong Kong's international business community has expressed its increasing unhappiness about the government's coronavirus prevention measures, pressing for clarity on quarantine guidelines and a road map for relaxing social-distancing rules in a meeting with top officials.
The government typically makes decisions regarding the extension of restrictions and social-distancing measures every two weeks. The concerns emerged following an outbreak stemming from Ursus Fitness, a gym in Sai Ying Pun popular with Western expatriates. So far, the cluster has grown to at least 141 cases.
In a reply to the Post, a government spokesman said the virtual meeting was "a candid and useful exchange over matters of mutual interest", but did not comment on the particulars. As of Friday night, more than 304,100 people - or about 4.1 per cent of the city's population - had received their first dose of vaccine.
