#TTFCovid19: Hong Kong recorded no new cases of Coronavirus infections today, the second consecutive day without new cases and the 14th in a row free from local transmission, health authorities revaled.

On Tuesday, State Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced plans to reopen government offices and several public facilities.

According to Bloomberg, government employees will start returning to offices on the 4th of May 2020 with facilities such as museums and libraries reopened to public.

But the Centre for Health Protection is cautious, calling on people to maintain social distancing as far as possible, adding that they should go out less and avoid social activities like meal gatherings.

“Given that the situation of Covid-19 infection remains severe and that there is a continuous increase in the number of cases reported around the world, members of the public are strongly urged to avoid all non-essential travel outside Hong Kong,” the Centre for Health Protection was quoted as saying.

In Malaysia, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced a Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO), allowing almost all businesses to resume operations save for cinemas, entertainment outlets and other businesses that promote crowding.
