Some hospitals in Hong Kong have started to buckle under the strain of rising coronavirus infections © AFP \/ Peter PARKS<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n

Hong Kong (AFP), Feb 15 – <\/i>Hong Kong’s leader on Tuesday said she would not impose a mainland China-style hard lockdown as the city faces its worst coronavirus wave to date, even as she vowed no switch to living with Covid-19.<\/p>\n

The comments came as hospitals began to buckle under the strain of rising infections with at least two medical facilities placing patients in beds outside their entrances.<\/p>\n

No place in the world has managed to return to zero Covid cases after such an outbreak except mainland China, which has imposed citywide lockdowns and mass stay-at-home orders when even a handful of cases are detected.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam ruled out that approach.<\/p>\n

“We have no plans whatsoever to impose a complete, wholesale lockdown,” she told reporters.<\/p>\n

But she also rejected calls from some public health experts and business figures to switch to a mitigation strategy saying zero-Covid remained her administration’s goal.<\/p>\n

“We have to continue to fight this anti-epidemic battle. Surrendering to the virus is not an option,” Lam said.<\/p>\n

Authorities will continue to use smaller-scale district lockdowns, with testing of all residents in housing blocks where cases are detected, she added.<\/p>\n

For more than two years, Hong Kong has followed China’s strategy, pursuing zero virus cases with largely closed borders, lengthy quarantines, contact tracing and stringent social distancing laws.<\/p>\n

But the new wave fuelled by the highly transmissible Omicron virus variant has battered the city’s capacity for testing, quarantine and treatment, and is testing the policy like never before.<\/p>\n

More than 1,600 new daily infections were reported Tuesday, and the figure hovered over 1,000 for much of last week. <\/p>\n

Local researchers have warned that new daily cases could exceed 28,000 a day by March.<\/p>\n

– Supply crunch –<\/p>\n

Before this outbreak, Hong Kong treated all coronavirus patients in dedicated isolation wards, but beds at hospitals and a temporary mass treatment facility near the airport have quickly filled.<\/p>\n

Close contacts of virus cases were earlier sent to a government quarantine camp, but many are now being told to isolate at home.<\/p>\n

Lam said 3,000 flats in newly constructed public housing blocks will be converted for quarantine use and that officials are seeking 10,000 hotel rooms too.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong’s number two official John Lee said on Tuesday that he would self-isolate at home “for prudence’s sake” after a domestic helper working at his home was found to be a preliminary positive case.<\/p>\n

Pro-Beijing lawmaker and executive councillor Regina Ip also announced she would work from home after her driver tested preliminarily positive.<\/p>\n

Last week saw long queues of people waiting to get tested, and many who tested positive reported being turned away from hospitals.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong has sourced 100 million rapid test kits and will distribute a million of them a day to high-risk individuals once they arrive, Lam said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Scenes from the city in recent days resembled the early phase of the pandemic, as shoppers cleared out supermarket shelves to stock up on food and essentials.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong imports most of its fresh food and produce from mainland China, and vegetable prices spiked last week due to a virus-related supply disruption.<\/p>\n

Lam on Tuesday said her administration was recruiting more cross-border drivers and will look into waterborne freight as an option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
