Hong Kong police are searching for an elderly man in an electric wheelchair who was spotted travelling about 1.5km down the middle of a busy highway late Monday (Feb 22) morning, one of two such incidents in the span of just five hours.
Officers were called when the man, thought to be about 80 years old, was seen riding a wheelchair in the middle lane of three-lane Ching Cheung Road in the direction of Tsuen Wan shortly before 11am.
It has been a year since the COVID-19 outbreak. In January last year, John Hopkins University (the “University”) in the United States launched the world’s first COVID-19 interactive map dashboard, displaying key information with maps and charts so that people can have a comprehensive view at a glance. The response was overwhelming, with more than 1 billion views every day.
After that, the University launched another initiative. In addition to the Global Map version of the map dashboard, a U.S. Map has been added to address the severe epidemic in America. The University’s Centers for Civic Impact initiated the use of data to describe the situation in each county, the level of medical services and its affordability to citizens, in particular.
Authorities have evacuated more than 70 people from a rehabilitation centre in Hong Kong over concerns of a possible Covid-19 cluster and confirmed a resident was among 26 new infections logged on Tuesday.
Twenty-one cases were locally transmitted, five of which were untraceable, while another five infections were imported, including ones involving a domestic helper from Indonesia and a family of four from India. About 20 people also tested preliminary-positive for the virus.
The city’s coronavirus tally stands at 10,693 cases. Two more patients succumbed to the disease – an 82-year-old woman with underlying health conditions who died on Monday evening and an 87-year-old man with chronic disease who died on Tuesday night – taking the number of related fatalities to 188.
