On a Sunday during the Covid-19 pandemic, Hong Kong residents congregated in a shopping mall atrium. To tackle Covid-19, the Hong Kong government has enforced by law to prohibit group gatherings of more than four persons in public places; therefore, every group of people maintained a minimum 1.5 meter 'social distance' from another group of people. A compliance officer wearing a lanyard around his neck was seen enforcing the social distancing rule.
