Updated information on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
Latest social distancing measures
The situation in Hong Kong has become more stabilised in terms of the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the recent weeks. However, in view of the three local cluster cases last week, the 'suppress and lift' strategy adopted to contain the epidemic and the impending school resumption, the Government will now maintain the current social distancing measures subject to refinements to meet the operational needs of some businesses, and review them further depending on the future development of the epidemic situation.
In view of the need for worshippers to participate in religious activities raised by religious groups, the Government will relax the restrictions in relation to group gatherings for religious gatherings subject to fulfilment of suitable infection control requirements. However, having regard to the need on public health and infection control considerations, there is a need to maintain restrictions on public group gatherings. Details:

2019冠狀病毒病的最新資訊
最新減少社交接觸措施
本港過去數周就2019冠狀病毒病的疫情及確診個案數字越趨穩定。然而，考慮到上星期出現的三宗本地群組個案、就控制疫情採取的張弛有度策略，以及復課在即，政府會暫時維持現行社交距離措施，根據部分行業營運需要作出微調，並視乎疫情進一步發展再作檢討。
考慮到宗教團體提出信眾參與宗教活動的需要，政府會就宗教聚會在符合適當防疫條件下放寬有關羣組聚集的限制，但因應公共衞生及疫情防控需要，對公眾羣組聚集的限制仍有必要維持。具體細節：
