- Hong Kong reported 73 new COVID-19 cases on Monday (Nov 23) as the government warned the epidemic in the city is rapidly worsening, with “silent transmission chains” feared amid a rise in asymptomatic infections.
- This is the highest daily number of new COVID-19 cases in the city in about three months.
- Hong Kong has so far managed to avoid the widespread outbreak of the disease seen in many major cities across the world, with numbers on a daily basis mostly in single digits or low double digits in recent weeks.
- The jump in cases has caused a travel bubble between Hong Kong and Singapore, which was due to launch on Nov 22, to be postponed for two weeks.
- The government started to ease restrictions on dining, sports facilities and theme parks in September after a mass testing programme organised by the Chinese government.
