Hong Kong reports 61 new coronavirus cases, mostly local transmissions
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong reported 61 new coronavirus cases on Tuesday, including 58 that were locally transmitted, adding to a slew of new cases which have hit the global financial hub over the past two weeks.
Hong Kong tightened social distancing measures in July after a rise in locally transmitted cases and as authorities warned about a third wave of infections.
Since late January over 2,000 people have been infected in Hong Kong, 14 of whom have died.
