Hong Kong ramps up restrictions to slow Omicron

As New Zealand and some other countries look to ease Covid-19 restrictions Hong Kong is moving in the other direction. From Thursday it's compulsory to wear masks in parks and when you're exercising. Eating and drinking is banned on all public transport and masks must be worn at all times while in transit. From next month Hong Kong will carry out compulsory covid testing for all its citizens to try to slow the spread of the virus. Tom Grundy is the Editor in Chief at the Hong Kong Free Press.
