To manage the expected large crowds during the Chinese New Year bazaar at Chinatown, the first since 2020, the police have said diversions to access the bazaar may be implemented when needed

An expert also recommends visitors of the bazaar be aware of the area’s exit points and move calmly to those points should they start to feel overwhelmed by the crowd
