IN view of the latest situation in Germany, the government of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Saturday issued an Amber Outbound Travel Alert (OTA) on Germany.

At least nine people were killed by a gunman in shopping mall in Munich, Germany on Saturday. More than 20 were injured in the shooting.

A government spokesman said that residents who plan to visit Germany or are already there should monitor the situation, exercise caution, attend to personal safety, avoid travelling to places of large gatherings of people and pay attention to advice of the local authorities.

According to Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong, two package tours from Hong Kong are now in Munich and they are safe.

This is the second attack happened in Germany within a week. Four Hong Kong residents were injured on a train on Monday in southern Germany.

Under the three-color OTA system, black is the highest alert, red the middle and amber the lowest.
