Hong Kong students should avoid ordering takeaway food on mainland China trips, authorities say
A new guide has advised students from Hong Kong to refrain from ordering food and drinks through delivery platforms during trips to mainland China in the new academic year, in light of reports that more than 100 students taking part in such tours developed gastroenteritis symptoms.
Students were also advised not to go to the gym or use recreational facilities in hotels to ensure they have sufficient rest the following day, according to education authorities.
The Education Bureau recently uploaded a document for schools in a 'frequently asked questions' format for such trips in the new academic year.
