Thank you Bro ALG for pointing out how well HK has prevented a massive outbreak of Covid infections despite only having 68% of its population vaccinated.
Had a read. They did studies and "modelling" and arrived at non-medical intervention was key to prevention of massive infections. By this they employed not only masks and social distancing. The 2 key ingredients were 1 - any positive cases were taken away for hospital isolation (taken out of the community). 2 - deploy massive amount of resources to testing including where cases turn up in some suburbs, they would send teams to test every apartment in the area and move all positive cases to hospital for isolation.
This has resulted in only having less than 10 new cases daily (mostly return travellers), even in earlier waves they never exceeded 180 cases per day.
Well done Hong Kong.
