Hong Kong not yet at Covid-19 peak, says Lam

Hong Kong chief executive Carrie Lam says that the city is not yet past its Covid-19 peak, despite a slow down in the rise of daily cases in the last few days.

On Saturday, Hong Kong recorded 15,789 new Covid-19 cases, down from the seven-day average of 24,242 new daily cases.

“At this moment, we could not comfortably say that we have passed the peak,” Lam told reporters.

Last week, however, researchers from the University of Hong Kong noted that cases already peaked on March 4, when new daily cases reached 52,523.
