The team of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong announced the latest estimates yesterday. As of the last day of February, it is estimated that the cumulative number of infected people in the fifth wave of the epidemic has reached 1.7 million.

On the contrary, if the number of infections remains high and isolation and treatment facilities are insufficient, implementing universal testing too early may be counterproductive and more likely to affect public acceptance and cooperation.
