******************************************************************************************
The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) today (July 21) said that since the epidemic situation of coronavirus disease 2019 in Hong Kong has become severe recently, to strengthen the anti-epidemic work, the FEHD has earlier issued a letter to market and hawker bazaar tenants under the department to remind them to wear face masks in markets and hawker bazaars, and perform hand hygiene frequently. The FEHD started to distribute face masks and disinfectant hand sanitisers progressively to market and hawker bazaar operators today. Disinfectant hand sanitisers will also be placed at communal parts such as vicinities of lift lobbies, escalators and public scales for use by market patrons so as to safeguard the health and safety of tenants and the public.
The FEHD has already enhanced cleaning and disinfection in markets under the department as a precautionary measure, and urged market tenants for their cooperation to conduct cleaning and disinfection at their respective stalls, with a view to improving the overall hygienic condition of the markets.
