Health authorities reported 21,255 new Covid-19 cases on Christmas day, the second consecutive day that the daily caseload had breached the 21,000 mark. The tally is just a little less than the 21,362 that was recorded on Saturday.
Among the new infections were
964 that were imported, meaning, they were detected among newly arrived
travelers in Hong Kong.

Another 50 Covid-19 patients
have died.
The new surge in infections
has resulted in two quarantine centers located at Halls 6 and 9 of the
AsiaWorld-Expo, being converted to holding centres for elderly persons who test
positive for Covid-19 but are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms.

The two halls will provide a

Private medical practitioners
will be asked to provide support in line with an agreement between them and the
Hospital Authority.

Care services to the elderly patients will be provided by Richgreat International Development Limited and Kato Limited.
Meanwhile, China has stopped
releasing daily Covid-19 tally from today, after the Omicron variant has begun
to spread like wildfire across the country in the wake of the government’s
decision to relax border control.

In a brief public statement, the National Health Commission said that instead of releasing daily pandemic information, the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention will publish “relevant pandemic information for reference and research.”
The NHC had been giving the
daily case tally since China’s new coronavirus outbreak that started in Wuhan
on Jan. 21, 2020.

It did not give any reason
for the decision to halt the daily infection tally.
On Saturday, the government
reported only 4,128 cases and no new deaths. This was a week after it narrowed
the definition of Covid-related deaths to include only those patients who died
of respiratory failure directly attributable to the coronavirus.

However, media reports coming from the country indicate
severe shortages of fever and pain drugs, antigen test kits and even oxygen
machines for use at home. Hospitals are said to be overwhelmed at the moment.
