From the WSJ:

quote:
Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong are witnessing fresh waves of coronavirus infections, as the growing number of cases around the world test their successful early defenses against the disease.

Singapore reported 23 new cases late Tuesday, its highest daily count since the epidemic started. Taiwan recorded a single-day high of 10 cases of infection, bringing its total to 77. Hong Kong added five new cases - a day after it recorded nine - the most since Feb. 9


And from the South China Morning Post:

quote:
Hong Kong on Tuesday announced tougher travel restrictions to start placing all arrivals from any foreign country under two weeks of quarantine from Thursday, even as the city faced serious concerns about a second wave of coronavirus infections being brought in by thousands of citizens rushing home to beat the deadline.

The city confirmed 10 new Covid-19 cases that took its total to 167. At least eight of the new patients had travelled overseas recently, and four had only just returned home a day earlier, two of them students escaping from Britain, where the situation looked grim.

With the number of Covid-19 cases and deaths across the world continuing to surge above mainland China’s total, Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor expanded a red travel alert to cover all countries and jurisdictions except for neighbouring Macau, Taiwan and mainland China.

Starting from Thursday, anyone arriving from overseas would have to undergo home quarantine for 14 days and be subject to another two weeks of medical surveillance.
