One of Hong Kong's premier tourist draws, Disneyland, opens its doors to the public following nearly five months of closure over virus fears. The reopening is a fresh boost for a city that has largely managed to defeat the coronavirus. IMAGES
Hundreds of Hong Kong medical workers, who are on their fifth day of strike, stage a protest in the offices of the Hospital Authority. They are demanding to meet with senior management and for the city to close its border completely with China as well as for the government to ensure adequate medical supplies to combat the deadly novel coronavirus.

Hong Kong's Disneyland shuts its doors until further notice over the deadly virus outbreak in central China, a day after city authorities classified the crisis as an emergency. The closure will pile fresh misery on Hong Kong's tourism, leisure and retail industries which have already been battered by more than seven months of often-violent pro-democracy protests. IMAGES
A vaccination centre has been closed in Hong Kong after authorities suspended the use of Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines after being informed of a packaging problem with a batch of vials. The city said its decision came after they were contacted about the issue by Fosun, the Chinese pharmaceutical company that is distributing the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine in China. IMAGES

The elderly, frontline workers and medical staff are prioritised at the first stage. The first shipment of one million Sinovac jabs arrived from the mainland last Friday and Chief Executive Carrie Lam and members of her cabinet received their jabs earlier this week. IMAGES
