    Hong Kong authorities are warning of an even more severe fourth wave of coronavirus infections after identifying a new group of cases at three restaurants that may be linked to the ever expanding “super-spreader” dance venue cluster
    .

    More than 10 servers, cleaners and patrons at the three restaurants – Stellar House in Wan Chai, 8? Otto e Mezzo Bombana in Central, and Chuen Cheung Kui in Sheung Wan – have been confirmed sick, with authorities adding the venues to the mandatory testing list.

    The city recorded 115 new Covid-19 cases on Sunday, the highest daily increase since August 1 when it saw 125 new infections. Of those, 62 were linked to the dance venue cluster, bringing the city's largest coronavirus outbreak so far to 479 cases.

    All schools at the secondary level and below are to suspend in-person classes for the rest of the year, after authorities confirmed 115 Covid-19 cases on Sunday – the highest number in almost four months.

    However, the suspension will only take effect on Wednesday to give schools some time to make the necessary arrangements.

    In a statement, a government spokesman said in-person classes would be suspended from Wednesday until the Christmas break – effectively meaning there’ll be no school for the remainder of the year.
