【明報專訊】Yesterday (27 February) Hong Kong hit another record of 26,026 confirmed cases. The worse news is that no one can tell when the number will reach its peak. The ferocious onslaught of the pandemic has caused almost all isolation and patient treatment facilities to come apart at the seams. As a result, patients waiting in emergency rooms are told that their ''emergency treatment'' needs to be delayed. Confirmed COVID-19 patients who have asked to be sent to an isolation centre can only keep a short distance from their family members at home.
