Corpse stacks in crowded hospitals and corpse halls, while Hong Hong thinks about a blocking in Chinese style

in Hong Kong's corpse halls stacked corpses while the city has struggled with the worst outbreak since the beginning of pandemic.

officials announced on Monday that hospitals and public corpse halls have reached their maximum capacity after a record number of deaths by Covid-19, with officials warning that a city-wide block was not excluded.

On Monday, the 7.4 million city reported 34,466 new infections and 87 deaths.

"There was a wave of deaths in connection with Covid," said Lau Ka-He, a senior administrator of the Hong Kong hospital authority. "We cannot [fully] process the transmission of bodies, so you will see some bodies [piled up] in accident and emergency rooms."

"The corpses of deceased patients have to be brought away [Public Hospitals] in public corpses for autopsy and examination," he added.

Hong Kong has had 193,000 cases and 636 deaths since the end of December. Only 12,000 infections and 205 deaths are facing the rest of the pandemic.

dr. Darryl Tse, a plastic surgeon in Hong Kong, told the Telegraph : "The hospital is chaotic. We did not expect the cases to gain so quickly. We do not know what to do with covid patients.

"The quarantine rules and social distancing seem to have no great effect," added Dr. Tse add.

Albert Au, a high -ranking official of the Ministry of Health, said the Financial Times that most of the approximately 1,350 places in the city's three public corpses are occupied. Emergency rooms are also under enormous pressure, since patients are often examined in the open air in triage areas before they are taken to the hospital for treatment.

dozens of corpses are waiting in accident and emergency rooms to be transported in corpse halls, said Tony Ling, head of the city of the city.

in Hong Kong, despite a recent increase in vaccination numbers, there is a large proportion of unvaccinated older people. Many were not vaccinated for fear of side effects and complacency due to the city's success in combating the virus in 2021.

Almost 90 percent of all adults have received a dose of the Biontech or China Sinovac vaccine, but the rate falls to only 48 percent for over 80s.

official said that 91 percent of those who died in the current wave were not fully vaccinated.

In the past month the virus hit 600 nursing homes and disabled centers.

Hong Kong has firmly stated on a "dynamic zero" coronavirus policy that aims to contain all outbreaks, such as on the Chinese mainland, where only 109,000 cases have been discovered since the occurrence of the virus-compared to 205,000 in Hong Kong.
