TPG\/Sipa USA Hong Kong recorded 43 new coronavirus cases on Saturday \u2014 the biggest daily jump in more than three months, according to a statement from the city\u2019s Centre for Health Protection (CHP). Of the newly reported cases, 36 were locally transmitted, the statement said. \"Given that the situation of Covid-19 infection remains severe, and that there is a continuous increase in the number of cases reported around the world, members of the public are strongly urged to avoid all non-essential travel outside Hong Kong,\" the CHP spokesperson was quoted saying in the statement. The CHP also called on members of the public to avoid going out, having social contact and dining out. The announcement of the new cases comes after Hong Kong postponed a much-hyped \"travel bubble\" with Singapore due to a rise in coronavirus cases in the city. Edward Yau, Hong Kong's secretary for commerce and economic development, announced the two-week delay during a press conference on Saturday. \"We had planned to launch the HK-Singapore travel bubble tomorrow,\u201d Yau said. \u201cBut in the light of the recent upsurge of local cases, we have decided together with Singapore government that we would defer the launching of the air travel bubble by two weeks.\u201d share with Facebook<\/p>\n<p>This data comes from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaintel.asia\/\" title=\"MediaIntel.Asia provides Media Intelligence and Media Monitoring in Asia\" >MediaIntel.Asia's Media Intelligence and Media Monitoring Platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 hr 10 min ago Hong Kong reports highest daily increase in new coronavirus cases in 3 months From CNN's Sharif Paget People stand at a Covid-19 testing booth in Hong Kong, on November 9.
