Hong Kong’s health minister has said he will meet pandemic advisers as soon as possible to discuss strategies on beating back the surge in Covid-19 infections, adding authorities will centralise the release of information to avoid confusing the public.
Four experts from the University of Hong Kong (HKU), including two government advisers, last week called for boosting “hybrid immunity” among the population before winter by easing social-distancing measures. The approach, centred on exposing people to infections, is in contrast with the city’s “dynamic-zero” stance.
