The government on Tuesday said it welcomed decisions by some clubhouses to close their facilities temporarily to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
This comes after the Hong Kong Club closed its doors from Tuesday and now only provides a takeaway catering service. The Hong Kong Jockey Club will also suspend activities at all of its recreational facilities and postpone banquets from Wednesday.
The government said the Home Affairs department wrote to all 65 clubhouses operated on government-granted land on Monday, asking them to close their facilities indefinitely as part of the city's tightened measures to enhance social distancing.
The government is also calling on other, private clubhouses, to do the same.
