The Acting Head Administrator (AHA) today (October 25) announced the revoke of the topics related to Coronavirus (COVID-19) updates from the General Rules Regulations Annex (Approved Topic) (GRR Annex), Common Rule Cap. 1.
General Rules Regulations 11(4) states that "The Head Administrator may by announcement published in the Release Centre, add, vary or revoke a topic into the annex to consent a topic to be posted." Under 11(3) of the Regulation, it is a defence for posting advertisements if a topic is in the annexe.
The spokesperson for the AHA said, "It is proper timing to revoke the consent as Hong Kong has recorded only very small number of Coronavirus cases continuously. It is also time for us to adapt to the new normal living with COVID."
"From now on, members can not post Coronavirus updates within the forum unless they are related to aviation."
