******************************************************************************************

     A spokesman for the Home Affairs Department (HAD) said today (June 5) that Vaccine Pass requirements had entered the third stage. Customers and patrons entering catering premises and relevant scheduled premises must fulfill the requirements under the third stage of the Vaccine Pass. The Office of the Licensing Authority (OLA) under the HAD stepped up inspections at the premises licensed by the OLA during the long holidays (i.e. from June 3 to 5), and reminded the licence holders, customers and patrons the latest anti-epidemic requirements.

     During the three days of operation, the OLA inspected a total of 104 club-houses, two hotels and 25 amusement game centres licensed by it. No violation of anti-epidemic requirements was found.

     The HAD reminded that all persons-in-charge of the premises licensed by the OLA should strictly comply with the requirements and directions under the Prevention and Control of Disease (Requirements and Directions) (Business and Premises) Regulation (Cap. 599F), the Prevention and Control of Disease (Vaccine Pass) Regulation (Cap. 599L) and other regulations under Cap. 599. Relevant customers and patrons shall observe respective regulations and restrictions, including vaccination, group gathering and mask wearing.

     The HAD spokesman strongly appealed to all persons-in-charge and patrons of the premises again to stay vigilant and continue to comply with the relevant regulations on prevention and control of disease, in a concerted and persistent manner, with a view to keeping their staff, customers and the public safe, and preventing a rebound of the epidemic. The HAD will continue to strengthen its publicity efforts and enforcement actions. All trades are reminded to exercise self-discipline and comply with the regulations to fight the virus together.
