Operators of fitness centres can start applying for another round of Covid subsidies on Tuesday, as part of the government's latest round of anti-epidemic funding.

The government said on Sunday that each centre, of 500 square metres or less, will receive HK$100,000. Those over 500 square metres will get HK$200,000.

It said operators, who had received similar subsidies in the past, only needed to submit application forms but not supporting documents.

Smaller gyms must provide proof of size, the government added.

Fitness centres have been closed since early January because of the Omicron outbreak.

The application deadline is March 21.
