Outdoor sports facilities run by the government through the Leisure and Cultural Services Department will reopen from tomorrow, Feb. 9, in a first sign of the easing of strict anti-Covid restriction imposed since Dec 10 last year.
However, most will close down again over the Lunar New Year holidays.

Ahead of the reopening, Secretary for Home Affairs Caspar Tsui went on a site inspection visit to Victoria Park in
The LCSD has also arranged for staff members at relevant venues to undergo Covid-19 testing once every 14 days in order to safeguard their health and that of the public.

Tsui reminded anyone who uses the reopened leisure facilities to take note of social distancing, and to wear a mask before and after exercising.
He also advised would-be users to download and install the "LeaveHomeSafe" mobile app in advance to avoid delaying their visits. Those who opt to register their personal information on-site are reminded to arrive earlier to avoid delaying their visits as a longer time is required for such registration.

Under the Prevention and Control of Disease (Cap 599F), users are required to scan the "LeaveHomeSafe" QR code or register their names, contact number and the date and time of the visit before being allowed to enter sports premises to be reopened, for contact tracing if a confirmed case is found.
