A nurse walks through a temporary centre for patients set up outside the Caritas Medical Centre in Hong Kong on February 16, 2022, as the city faces its worst Covid-19 coronavirus wave to date. AFPPIX: Chinese leader Xi Jinping has called for Hong Kong to take “all necessary measures” to control an Omicron-fuelled Covid-19 outbreak, Beijing-affiliated newspapers in the city said Wednesday, a day after leader Carrie Lam ruled out a China-style hard lockdown.
By Wednesday, local newspapers Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po -- which answer to Beijing’s office in the city -- reported Xi had called on authorities to “implement every necessary measure to ensure the protection” of public health. But it is unclear whether Hong Kong, one of the world's most densely-packed cities, could ever make it back to zero-Covid even with a full lockdown, given the sheer number of Omicron infections it now faces.
