China sends first Covid-19 medical testing team to Hong Kong
The Global Times said the team was established at the request of the Hong Kong government, at a time where medical resources in Hong Kong are said to be overstretched.
The city reported 115 new cases on Sunday, continuing a streak of infections in the triple digits, and bringing the city's total tally to 3,511. The overall numbers are still lower than those of many other places - but the spike comes after Hong Kong appeared to have contained the outbreak, with weeks of few or no local infections.Earlier last week, Hong Kong postponed its parliamentary elections, originally due to be held in September, by a year.
The government said it was a necessary move amid the rise in infections but the opposition has accused it of using Covid-19 as a pretext to stop people from voting.
