IAM urges hawkers to cooperate with pandemic prevention work
The Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) requires hawkers in all markets and hawker areas to properly wear masks during opening hours, and reminds them that if they need to drink water, they should do so only when there are no customers around. According to a statement, hawkers are not allowed to eat during the opening hours of their stalls. IAM has earlier distributed the special permission cards to hawkers for them to get to and back from work by bus, and go home for meals and rest during lunch break.
