HONG KONG - Civil servants in Hong Kong returned to working from home on Monday as the city struggles to contain a surge in cases of the new coronavirus that is spreading out of control in the territory.
"We might possibly need to lock down, not a lockdown of the whole city, but ... close to a lockdown," Prof Yuen said. Chinese University of Hong Kong Professor David Hui said the public had let their guard down recently and warned that public hospitals would be under immense pressure if the daily number of new Covid-19 cases hit three digits.
The warnings from the experts who advise the government on the pandemic come after Chief Executive Carrie Lam on Sunday described the situation as"really critical", with more than 500 infections confirmed in the past two weeks.
