Hi, I’m in HK. As said above, schools have been closed since late January and won’t reopen til late April, or more probably May/June.
The containment measures seem to be working. The border to China is shut, so there isn’t an influx of new cases. There are also travel restrictions from Italy, SK, Iran. By April there may well be more, including possibly from the UK (if that’s where you are).
There are currently 120 cases in HK. The number goes up by 1-5 cases a day. So the number is not flat, but we are not seeing a sudden big increase.
Many things are progressively reopening, eg public libraries and the judicial courts are reopening this week. But big events (eg Rugby 7s) have been cancelled.
Restaurants and bars are open, although they are much quieter than usual. I would avoid hot pots, temples/churches and any situation where you are expected to have physical contact with strangers. If eating a communal meal, make sure you use different pairs of chopsticks (black/white) for different purposes - don’t use same chopsticks to take food from common platter and putting it in your mouth.
If you don’t know HK, you might think that it all looks normal, as there are some people on the streets etc. It’s just that it’s a fraction of what it normally is. A very large number are working from home.
Please note it is expected that people wear face masks in public. It’s really hard to find them here, they’ve been sold out for weeks. Even at weddings I would expect to see people wearing them, in fact it would be recommended at it’s a large gathering. There are known cases of transmission at weddings.
What part of Hk is the wedding in? Some areas are more hit than others.
