Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong.

Businesses that do not follow COVID-19 social distancing and 50 percent capacity guidelines will have to close down according to the Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong.

He highlighted this while responding to a question on some supermarkets that are not following COVID-19 guidelines and that it was clearly stated that those businesses that do not follow the guidelines can be shut down as it can be the next super spreader.

He says they will now probably have to get people to patrol it regularly and sort out distancing issues.

Dr Fong says they have tried the soft approach to keep reminding people to follow guidelines, however if it does not happen then they will have to close it down.
