Hong Kong was facing 114 new Covid-19 cases on Sunday, a source said, as the government prepared to order a mandatory coronavirus test for all staff working in care homes for the elderly and disabled.

If confirmed, it would be the highest daily increase since the fourth wave started more than a week ago, and the first time the city recorded a three-figure rise since the 125 cases on August 1.
