In other COVID news, HK had its first locally transmitted case of one of the new variants (S.Africa)
400 households have been put into quarantine for 21 days to prevent further spread. Thats 1-2,000 people sent to a prison like camp for three weeks because they live in the same tower block as someone with COVID.
