Health officials have reported more than 2,200 Covid-19 cases in Hong Kong, even as stormy weather caused by approaching Typhoon Chaba forced testing centres to close, while neighbouring Macau confirmed dozens of new infections despite imposing tough social-distancing rules and universal screening.
