The Circular on Further Tightening the Ban on Meal Parties During the Coronavirus Control Period prohibits all catering service providers and individuals from organizing all meal parties, so as to minimize the number of people attending such parties and prevent coronavirus from spreading during meals. Those who have already made reservations should cancel or postpone them immediately. Catering service providers in the rural areas are forbidden from organizing banquets for festival and birthday celebrations, college acceptance or any other forms of meal gatherings.
