HONG KONG -- Hong Kong will ban restaurants and bars from selling alcohol, and most foreign visitors -- including transit passengers -- will be barred entry as part of the government's latest measures to contain the second coronavirus wave following a recent surge in imported infections.
The sale of alcohol will be prohibited at the city's roughly 8,600 licensed liquor premises after multiple coronavirus cases in the past week involved visitors to Lan Kwai Fong, a popular nightlife hub in Hong Kong.
