Ready for the Back to School Sale on ventilators?

...Hong Kong is closing all kindergartens, primary and secondary schools early, amid a new outbreak of Covid-19 infections in the city.

Summer holidays will begin early on Monday, authorities announced today, and there will be a review to decide if school can resume the new year as scheduled in August or September. Schools have been given the option of delaying tests planned for next week until later in the year.

There will be updated virus figures in a few hours, but in the past week Hong Kong has reported another 117 new confirmed cases.
