The Secretary for Home Affairs, Mr Caspar Tsui, visited Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park Swimming Pool today (June 24) to learn about the operation at the public swimming pool on the first day following the relaxation of the number of users.
      
     Mr Tsui inspected the special measures adopted at the public swimming pool by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and was briefed by venue staff on the latest situation and workflow. He said that the number of users was relaxed in order to serve more people, while attaching the importance of safeguarding the health of the public and staff, and minimising the risk of spreading the virus. Once again, he appealed to the members of public who are suitable for vaccinations to get vaccinated early and fight the virus together.
      
     In view of the latest situation of COVID-19, the LCSD has relaxed the limit on the number of users in 39 reopened public swimming pools starting from today, with the maximum number of persons allowed in swimming pools relaxed from 30 per cent to 50 per cent of capacity. Please refer to www.lcsd.gov.hk/en/beach/common/documents/reopen_annex1_24062021.pdf for the pools concerned.
