The pace and severity of Hong Kong's current Covid-19 outbreak, the largest since the pandemic began, has outgrown the city’s capacity, officials said: “We cannot surrender to the virus. This is not an option.'

Wards at public hospitals have begun to overflow, with reports of children being turned away as pediatric isolation beds ran out.

Despite the strain, just a fraction of those being treated or isolated were in critical condition, and Hong Kong officials urged Covid-19-positive residents—previously subject to immediate hospitalization regardless of symptoms or vaccination status—to avoid emergency rooms if their symptoms are mild.
