HONG KONG (Xinhua): Hong Kong will extend its social distancing measures that will expire at midnight on Thursday (April 23) for another 14 days to ensure the Covid-19 epidemic will be completely controlled.

Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Carrie Lam announced the decision on Tuesday (April 21) morning at a press conference, stressing that the anti-epidemic measures cannot stop at present, or all the efforts that Hong Kong has made could be wasted.
