Letters | A New Year’s wish for an end to Hong Kong’s double standards on coronavirus curbs
- Strict social distancing rules for restaurants are in stark contrast to supermarkets and other sectors, highlighting a lack of common sense in Covid-19 prevention measures

There was no temperature-taking nor track-and-trace QR code at the door of this supermarket! I took a trolley: I saw no evidence that it had been cleaned or sanitised. I thought about my restaurants – the standards we upgraded last January 26, and the thousands of dollars we have spent providing sanitising gel for our customers ever since.
I watched as people picked up produce, turned it over, examined it, and put it back before picking up the next available item to do the same.
I thought about my operations team who must clean and sanitise their work areas, the management app that allows me to check on the eight checklists we use twice a day, and the walkaround our managers do every hour to ensure the checklists are completed and hygiene standards maintained.
