Hong Kong is considering a China-style system to ban Covid-19 patients and those meant to be isolating from entering public venues, the city’s new health chief said, as the financial hub sees a resurgence of infection that’s testing the limits of its virus tolerance.
Authorities are studying the health-code system used on the mainland, which governs people’s movement to prevent the spread of infection, said Secretary for Health Lo Chung-mau during TV and radio appearances on Sunday and Monday.
