In Hong Kong, alarms bells have started to ring for the 5th wave of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, even though the government has been following a successful policy in the pandemic. In Hong Kong, which has a “zero case” policy as in China, the health system has a struggling fight with COVID-19. With the effect of the Omicron variant, hospitals in Hong Kong started to accept patients in tents that they set up in their gardens after the number of COVID-19 cases increased. Meanwhile, the patients are waiting in front of the tents for doctors and paramedics to take care of them.

In Caritas Medical Center in Hong Kong, patients who are not in serious condition are treated in the areas set up in the building’s garden after the bed capacity is full in the hospital. Elderly people and people with health problems are treated in the hospital building. Caritas Medical Center Director Ho Wan-xia stated that the capacity in the hospital is full, and told that they are trying to serve the elderly and those who need urgent help more quickly. Wan-xia added that after the increase in the case numbers, they found the solution by setting up tents in the garden and continuing the treatment service.

Iran Warns Europe Over Nuclear Dispute

0

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi issued a stern warning to the UK, Germany, and France, accusing them of making a “new strategic mistake” regarding Tehran’s nuclear program. In a social media post, Arakchi said, “Iran will give a tough and determined response to the violation of its rights,” criticizing the European trio for backing a resolution against Iran at the IAEA Board of Governors.

Arakchi condemned the move as baseless, recalling past disputes in 2005 which led to the expansion of Iran’s uranium enrichment. “Have these three really not learned any lessons in the last twenty years?” he said.

Meanwhile, the IAEA reported on May 31 that Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile had grown from 274.8 kg in February to 408.6 kg by May 17. In response, the UK, Germany, and France are reportedly preparing to refer Iran’s file to the UN Security Council, which could activate the “snapback” mechanism and reimpose UN sanctions.
