CHINA-HONGKONG: VIGIL PLANNED FOR JUNE 4 WILL PROBABLY BE BANNED
|
The news outlet HK01 reported (May 19) that as the new coronary pneumonia epidemic continues there are indications that the Hongkong government intends to extend the "restriction order" for 14 days to June 4. It said this means that the annual June 4th party may not be held. Ye Guoqian, a deputy to the National People's Congress and member of the Executive Council, said that the epidemic situation in Hong Kong has eased, but it is impossible to cancel all epidemic prevention measures in a short time. He believes that the "restriction order" will be extended for another 14 days. Ye Guoqian said the June 4 party may be limited by the extension of the "Limitation Order" and, that from a health perspective, crowds should be avoided at present.
