Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, announced the measures to gradually relax social distance from April 21th, and people's lives have gradually recovered, but it will take some time before and after the epidemic, depending on the development of the epidemic.

On April 4th, the anti-epidemic press conference held by the Hong Kong SAR Government announced measures to relax social distance, including the resumption of restaurant business hours to 22: 11 p.m., the relaxation of the maximum number of people eating at the same table to four, the possibility of holding banquet activities with no more than 21 people, and the reopening of indoor and outdoor sports venues, fitness centers, theme parks and beauty salons. The announcement of these measures shows that the recent epidemic peak in Hong Kong has passed, and measures can be gradually relaxed.

In March, the epidemic in Hong Kong reached its peak, and the government also tightened the social distance policy and the opening policy of various places, with the intention of reducing the gathering and contact of people and effectively curbing the development of the epidemic. When the epidemic situation improved, all kinds of economic and social life began to recover gradually. Many Hong Kong residents also said that they would go out for parties and meals with friends after the opening of the restrictions on gathering. At the same time, the Hong Kong government has also issued a new round of coupons to promote the development of Hong Kong's digital economy.

However, it will take a long time for people to fully recover from the epidemic. Although the policy is gradually liberalized, it will be adjusted in time according to the situation of the epidemic. And now everyone will consciously wear a mask when they go out, and keep a social distance when waiting in line. Social places and bars that young people like will continue to be closed.

The Hong Kong government's policy of relaxing restrictions also hopes to stimulate the economy. Because the epidemic has dealt a great blow to individual businesses, if restrictions and blockades continue, many people will face economic problems, which may eventually lead to more serious social problems.

To sum up, Hong Kong has taken measures to adjust its social distance according to the change of epidemic situation, but it will take some time to fully return to normal life.
