Due to the Covid situation, US fast-food giant McDonald’s plans to temporarily close 38 stores in Hong Kong. Another 90 of the chain’s stores are also to close earlier than normal. In a Facebook post, McDonald’s explained that there were „unprecedented difficulties“ due to a lack of workforce and supplies. The fast-food chain operates a total of 245 stores in the city. In addition to McDonald’s, other restaurant chains, including Pizza Hut, have also shortened their business hours due to the COVID-19 surge.
