  <title>Time for 1/2 rent for 1/2 capacity ? What do the new regulations mean?</title>
  <description>&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;gt; I quickly review the new regulations and suggest why rents could now be halved for the F&amp;amp;amp;B sector given the recent regulatory removal of 50% of the utility of premises to conduct seated food and beverage business&amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;gt;The new regulations extracted from the government statement:&amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;gt;  &amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;gt;(a) the number of customers at any premises on which food or drink is sold or supplied for consumption on the premises (catering premises) at any one time must not exceed 50% of the normal seating capacity of the premises;&amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;gt;  &amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;gt;(b) tables available for use or being used by customers within any catering premises must be arranged in a way to ensure there is a distance of at least 1.5 metres or some form of partition which could serve as effective buffer between one table and another table at the premises;&amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;gt;(c) no more than 4 persons may be seated together at one table within any catering premises;&amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;gt;(d) a person must wear a mask at any time within any catering premises, except when the person is consuming food or drink on the premises;&amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;gt; (e) body temperature screening on a person must be conducted before the person is allowed to enter the catering premises; and&amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;gt; (f) hand sanitisers must be provided at any catering premises for any person at the premises.&amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;lt;a =href&amp;quot;https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/202003/27/P2020032700878.htm&amp;quot;Click Here for Government Link&amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;gt;  </description>
