People wearing face masks cross a street following the coronavirus disease outbreak, in Hong Kong, China on Feb 15, 2022.HONG KONG - Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said on Monday there were no current plans to further tighten strict social distancing measures as the authorities battle to contain a deepening coronavirus outbreak which has submerged its health system and seen deaths soar.
Gatherings of more than two people are banned, most venues are shut - including schools - and masks are compulsory everywhere, even when exercising outdoors. Mrs Lam said last week that the city government had no timeframe for a potential compulsory mass testing of Hong Kong's 7.4 million residents. The Chinese-ruled territory has had its borders effectively sealed for two years with few flights able to land here and most transit passengers banned.
