Dear residents of the District,

　　In order to protect the health and safety of the people and reduce the risk of epidemic transmission caused by the gathering of people, Huadu District decides to further strengthen the management and control of commercial places in the whole district. Specific measures are as follows:

　　1. All restaurants shall stop providing dine-in service (including food shops who provide dine-in), and may provide take-away services either on-site or through orders. They may also provide dine-in for individual customers in separated rooms (Each room can only have 1 table; each table can only have a maximum of 10 guests). Any form of group dining is forbidden (including private banquet).

　　2. Canteens (including the canteens of government departments and public organizations, schools, factories, construction sites, enterprises, etc.) must measure temperature for everyone; people must dine in batches at different times, and sit in the same direction with reasonable distance from each other.

All commercial places must inspect the code (“health code for passing”) of every customer, and take control measures such as making appointment, implementing staggered schedule, measuring temperature and wearing masks. Before having their exclusive “health code for passing”, all commercial places must register the information of every customer.

　　6. Citizens are suggested not leaving the city or province unless necessary during the Dragon Boat Festival, and those who do need to travel should hold a negative PCR testing report within 48 hours. Party and government departments, enterprises and public institutions, schools and travel agencies in the District should take the lead in implementing the requirements of not leaving Guangzhou or the province unless necessary.

　　7. Any individual or organization fails to implement the abovementioned measures as required will be subject to legal liabilities according to the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases, the Law of the People's Republic of China on Public Security Management and Punishment, the Law of the People's Republic of China on Emergency Response and the Regulations on Preparedness for and Response to Emergent Public Health Hazards.
