Pubs and bars

14 days are over, are they open again? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.223.65.106 (talk) 05:42, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Lead to be rewritten" and "needs to be updated" tags

I have removed the "lead to be rewritten" and "needs to be updated" tags, as the article has been edited for both of these issues and appears to have sufficient standard now. --CRau080 (talk) 20:17, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

School Closure Updates

Are there updates from education authorities about in-class school arrangements after the Easter holiday? YXL99 (talk) 14:46, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PEIS warning

The following warning appears on the page when you preview it:

Warning: Post-expand include size is too large. Some templates will not be included.

Since the four large daily graphs in the "Graphs" section haven't been updated since October 3, 2021, I hid them using an HTML comment, which removed the warning. If you want to keep the charts, I would suggest switching the source data to something more practical like weekly or monthly numbers. If the time-sensitive data isn't going to be updated, then I suggest deleting the charts. If this doesn't resolve the warning, then I also suggest doing the same to the daily Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Hong Kong medical cases chart.

Circular hatnote in Vaccine hesitancy section

The Vaccine hesitancy section currently has: Further information: COVID-19 vaccination in Hong Kong. However, COVID-19 vaccination in Hong Kong redirects back to this article. Is there another suitable article or should the hatnote be removed? S0091 (talk) 18:49, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find a better target, so I've removed the link. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 20:27, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
