HONG KONG (China Daily/ANN): Political advisers and medical experts in Hong Kong on Wednesday (March 25) called for legislation to ban public gatherings to further reduce the worrying spread of the novel coronavirus in the community.
They said the planned alcohol ban would by itself be ineffective in reducing all types of social gatherings. They made these remarks as the city recorded 24 new cases of novel coronavirus infections — mostly returnees from Europe or North America — taking the city’s total to 410.
