Year of the Ox, Lunar New Year Fairs Cancelled

The Government has announced that the Year of the Ox Lunar New Year fairs at 15 locations across Hong Kong and the Che Kung Festival Fair in Sha Tin scheduled for February have been cancelled due to the Wuhan virus (Covid-19).

A spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department commented: “To assist flower farmers to sell flowers through other alternative means, we will meet with major stakeholders of the trade to actively explore feasible measures under the premise of upholding the anti-epidemic principles, such as identifying suitable locations in public housing estates or other places in various districts for selling New Year flowers, with a view to minimising the impact of the cancellation of the LNY fairs on the trade.”
