Poultry stall operators and the public are reminded that the next rest day will fall on Tuesday.
On that day, operators of market stalls and fresh provision shops selling live poultry must suspend business to carry out thorough cleaning and disinfection.
All poultry retailers are urged to strictly observe the rest day conditions and ensure that all live poultry remaining in their stalls or shops are slaughtered before the rest day.
Stall owners and licensees must not remove any live poultry from their premises to avoid slaughtering of the unsold poultry before the start of the rest day.
The Food & Environmental Hygiene Department staff will inspect each poultry outlet on the rest day. Failure to comply with the rest day conditions will lead to immediate cancellation of shop licences or termination of market stall tenancies.
