HK still battling with virus third wave despite dropping infectionsHealth officials said the flow of people on streets in Mong Kok could lead to the resurgence of the virus. Health officials warned the public to stay vigilant despite a significant drop in the number of local coronavirus transmissions for two weeks in a row. The figures marked the 14th consecutive day the daily record stayed below 100, as 39 infections were domestic. The CHP’s Chuang Shuk-kwan said the infection cluster might be associated with the shared facilities port workers used, such as rest rooms and beds. She said the conditions to relax social-gathering curbs hinges on the government’s decisions, but the number of infections should be as low as possible.
