New social distancing law started today

New rules banning more than four people from gathering started today, which will last two weeks, but some foreign domestic helpers still broke the rules. 
Those who violate the law will be issued a fixed penalty of HK$2,000, or in the case of a formal prosecution, a higher fine of HK$25,000 (HK$3,225) or six months in jail. 
Authorities also said officers can disperse the group gathering if the distance is less than 1.5 meter between two groups or more at the same place, while there are more than four people in a group. 
There appeared to be fewer people on the streets on Sunday afternoon, with a lot more people dining out in groups of twos. 
But foreign domestic helpers continued their usual Sunday gatherings, with some breaching the four-people limit. Each group surrounded themselves with carton boxes.
At about 11am yesterday, domestic helpers were sat in groups along the Mong Kok Pedestrian Footbridge, and the distance between groups was less than 1.5 meter. Some also did not follow the four-people rule which seven to eight people gathered around, eat and chat.  
A dozen of police officers later patrol the footbridge and warned them there cannot be more than four people in a people, as well as telling them to sit farther away to keep a safe distance from others. 
Some domestic helpers gathered near the Victoria Park in Causeway Bay and Statue Square in Central, many of them kept a 1.5 meter distance to other groups, while some put up paperboard to separate themselves. Some of them also said they would not share food and will pay attention to personal hygiene. 
Concern groups also showed up with reminders, informing the workers of the new requirement as some of them may not know the new rules when they were working.
