HONG KONG (China Daily/ANN): After a pandemic-induced shutdown of more than a month, most major public services in Hong Kong were restored on Monday (May 4) morning.
The majority of the city’s 170,000 civil servants will return to work in their offices on Monday. As of Sunday, the city had not seen a new case of Covid-19 transmitted locally for 14 days in a row.
About 4,800 civil servants had since worked from home and another approximately 30,000 had worked every other day to minimise the risk of coronavirus infection. Visitors to any indoor public facility that reopened on Monday must wear masks, and will have their temperature checked. Public schools and performance venues remain closed until further notice. People who work for such institutions will continue to work from home.
