Fifth Covid wave ‘overwhelms’ Hong Kong’s capacity
TRT World says Hong Kong says fifth wave ‘overwhelmed’ city’s capacity.
Hong Kong’s leader Carrie Lam has said that the “onslaught” of coronavirus infections in the global financial hub has dealt a heavy blow and overwhelmed its capacity to deal with the epidemic as daily cases surge to record highs.
Daily infections have multiplied 13 times over the past two weeks, from about 100 cases at the start of February to over 1,300 on February 13, with authorities scrambling to control the deepening outbreak.
Medical experts warn the city could see 28,000 daily infections by the end of March, with the unvaccinated elderly a particular worry.
