The South China Morning Post is reporting that a third peak is feared in Hong Kong as more than 60 new cases, a mixture of confirmed and preliminary cases, were reported in the city today.
A potential new cluster has emerged in Jockey Club Harmony Villa, a elderly care centre, according to two medical sources. A bus driver has also tested positive. On Monday, he drove four buses criss-crossing the city, along Route 23 which links North Point with Pok Fu Lam.
It is the second elderly care home to be infected: the first, at the Kong Tai Elderly Care Centre in Tsz Wan Shan, has so far infected at least 42 elderly residents and employees, with two fatalities.
As of Thursday, the city’s overall tally reached 1,655 cases, with 10 related deaths. Since July 6, 120 out of 299 local infections have been untraceable.
