HONG KONG (AP) – Hong Kong has reported 15 coronavirus deaths and more than 6,000 confirmed cases for a second day in its latest infection surge.
Yesterday, the government also announced plans to ease crowding in hospitals by building isolation units for 10,000 patients.
There were 6,063 confirmed cases in the previous 24 hours, raising the Chinese territory’s total to 46,763. That was down slightly from Thursday’s 6,116 but one of Hong Kong’s highest daily totals.
Hong Kong has tightened travel and business curbs as it tries to contain its latest virus surge.
