Hong Kong has reported its first death suspected of being linked to the coronavirus since September, as it tightens controls to curb the spread of a surge in Omicron cases.
The 73-year-old man, who was chronically ill, was admitted to hospital on Tuesday where he was tested for the virus and preliminarily found to be positive. He required immediate resuscitation but died a few hours later, the Hospital Authority said in a statement on Tuesday.
