Hong Kong has reported a record 1,514 new Covid-19 cases, as officials struggling to contain an expanding outbreak despite the most stringent restrictions yet met across the border to discuss support from China.
“This is the toughest battle against the virus of the past two years,” Edwin Tsui, controller of the Centre for Health Protection, told reporters.
“Please stay at home. We need your cooperation.”
Hong Kong's chief secretary John Lee, Health Secretary Sophia Chan and Security Chief Chris Tang are in neighbouring Shenzhen, to discuss support measures with Chinese officials, according to Reuters.
