HONG KONG - A coronavirus outbreak at a gym popular with expatriates in Hong Kong has resulted in over 240 people being sent into quarantine, the city's government said, with positive cases spilling into the banking sector and the city's international school network.
At least nine schools have been temporarily closed as a precautionary measure, schools and teachers said on Thursday. The outbreak came as Hong Kong has begun gradually lifting coronavirus restrictions and after authorities permitted gyms and beauty parlors to reopen on Feb. 18 after more than two months of closures.
Health authorities reported 22 new confirmed coronavirus cases on Thursday, with around 40 preliminary diagnoses.
