Hong Kong’s leader has insisted a “wholesale city lockdown” will not happen under a universal Covid-19 testing exercise set to take place this month, as she admitted to a lack of isolation facilities to handle all the cases detected so far.
Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor was citing the more than 280,000 infections recorded since the fifth wave hit the city in late December, including a new high of over 55,300 cases confirmed on Wednesday.
Sources told the Post that universal testing could begin on March 26 and last for nine days under a preliminary plan of some form of lockdown, the parameters to which had yet to be agreed upon.
