The novel coronavirus pandemic is severe. [Yesterday], the government announced new prevention measures: It is forbidden to have gatherings of more than four people; restaurants can only operate at half of its seating capacity; there needs to be a 1.5m distance between tables; and six types of entertainment establishments are closed.

Apart from TVB's arrangement for people entering TVB City to take their temperature and the use hand sanitizer, the canteen has also recently suspended the provision of side dishes, only having set meals. It could be seen [today] that the canteen is accommodating the government's new measures. There are only four chairs per table, and there is a certain distance between the tables. Notices were also posted in different places: "Friendly reminder: For yourself and for others, when eating, do not talk. When [you] have to talk, wear a mask. Wish you all good health".

Has Not Played Soccer for Three Weeks, Lifting Dumbbells at Home

[Today], Kenneth Ma and Kiki Sheung worked on "BB on Top". Kenneth said that the company staff canteen has suspended the provision of small stir-fried dishes. There is less of the enjoyment from eating at the same table with actors in the same series: "Cannot eat around a table as a large group of people for the time being...not as lively as before. Can only order a rice platter...a few sitting together to eat, but everyone would still chat and laugh when meeting. Have no choice...safety is the most important. When [I] don't have to work, I will wear a face mask. [My] elder sister also bought hand sanitizer for me to hang on to my bag so that it is easy to use". He has been busy filming recently; there is no time to go out to watch movies. [He] goes home after work, so the closure of cinemas has little effect on him, but the closure of soccer stadiums and fitness centres has affected him: "I haven't played soccer for three weeks. [My] friend said that even the sports field's gantry has been removed. Fitness centres are also closed. I can only lift dumbbells at home".

Kenneth laughingly said that he is able to watch the rerun of "The Hippocratic Crush" with his elder sister in his spare time. He laughingly said, "The feeling is quite good...quite interesting. Back then, netizens praised me and Tavia Yeung for being matching and told me to pursue her. Unfortunately, I lost to Him Law".

Cuts Down on Going Out, Has Not Seen Jazz Lam's Daughter

Speaking of the due date of Tavia and Him's baby being in May, he expressed that he still keeps in touch with them, and believes that they can only meet after the pandemic has passed. Also met up with his "A Fistful of Stances" siblings less recently: "Have not gone out to eat much recently...mostly staying at home. Have not even seen Jazz Lam's daughter yet. Will see [her] a little later. Hope that the pandemic passes as soon as possible".

Kiki Sheung Wears a Large Transparent Face Mask When Eating

Regarding the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, Kiki said that she attaches great importance to health, hanging an antibacterial bag on her chest and covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief when entering and leaving the dressing room. She said, "As an actor, have to be on camera. It is not convenient to wear a mask...afraid of smearing the makeup, but I am very careful. Cover [my] mouth and nose with a handkerchief when going in and out, and wash [my] hands frequently. When eating, [I] wear a large transparent face mask, pick up the food into rice bowl, and then place the bowl inside the mask. It's safer". She laughed at herself for not using face masks much in the past. Received a face mask from a friend who sent it from a foreign country, but made a mistake when using it: "Felt that [my] vision was blurry after wearing the face mask. It turned out that I did not tear off the mask's protective film".

Kiki said that she lives a three-person lifestyle with her husband and mother on a daily basis, which does not exceed the limit. As for the series crew's mealtime, can only cut down on eating together: "Today, [my] husband came to accompany me. I usually eat with [my] assistant, Eliza Sam, and [her] assistant...a total of four people". Not including partner Kenneth? Kiki laughingly said, "Kenneth is such a handsome guy. I could only tell [my] assistant to temporarily give up the spot to him".
