Gathering Ban; Allen Lee

2020-05-20
 On Wednesday's Backchat, we'll talk about the extension of the Covid-19 gathering ban. 

The government announced on Tuesday the measure will be extended for 14 days until June 4th and people will be fined if they are in a group of more than 8 people in public, although they will be able to swim at public beaches and pools with lifeguard services provided and join bigger religious gatherings

The Health Secretary said political reasons weren't her concern when deciding the extension. What do you make of the decision? What about the annual June 4th commemorative event?

Veteran politician and former Backchat Co-host Allen Lee passed away last week. We'll talk about his achievements and influence during the transitional period and the post-handover era of Hong Kong.
