In Hong Kong, the daily tally remained below the 1,000-mark for an entire week after it faced a massive surge earlier in March - reporting over 70,000 cases in a day.

Meanwhile in China's Shanghai, the latest Covid hotspot, authorities have reportedly installed barriers in front of several residential buildings to curb the movement of people in a bid to overcome the current wave, triggering a fresh outcry as locals struggle for essentials.
