Up until the first week of July, when the so-called third
wave of infections swept through Hong Kong ,
the death toll was steady at seven. But the record rise in cases has led to
deaths being reported on an almost daily basis, all involving elderly patients.
A big number of the new cases have occurred in care homes
for the elderly, prompting a warning from health authorities for the elderly to
remain at home.
Aside from Kong Tai, another elderly home severely affected
by the new wave of infections is Cornwall
