Hong Kong will double the number of public hospital beds allocated for Covid-19 patients to 2,500 and reschedule elective surgery to ease the strain on the healthcare system, authorities have said, while an expert has warned the daily caseload could soon surge to five digits if Omicron subvariants became dominant in five to 10 weeks.
The city on Friday logged 4,270 coronavirus infections, including 180 imported cases, and six virus-related deaths. Hong Kong’s total Covid-19 tally stands at 1,313,224 cases, with 9,454 linked fatalities.
