The deadly coronavirus is spreading out of control in Hong Kong with a record 100 new cases confirmed, the finance hub’s leader said Sunday as she tightened social distancing measures to tackle the sudden surge in infections.
However, in the last two weeks, infections have spiked once more and doctors fear the new outbreak is now spreading undetected in the densely packed territory of 7.5 million people. “I think the situation is really critical and there is no sign the situation is being brought under control,” Lam told reporters.
Hong Kong was already mired in recession when the pandemic hit thanks to the US-China trade war and months of political unrest last year.On Sunday, Lam called for landlords to look at lowering rents in the notoriously expensive city where inequality is rampant. Some of the new infections have swept through elderly care homes, a major cause of concern given how deadly the coronavirus is to older people.
