Hong Kong has passed one million COVID-19 cases throughout the pandemic on Friday as the country struggles to contain its latest COVID-19 outbreak.
The city said its total number of cases since the pandemic began is now at 1,016,944, with 97 percent of the cases coming from the current outbreak, The Associated Press reported.
Around 20,079 were found on Friday alone, with 5,200 people dying in the last month.
Many of the deaths come from elderly patients who refused to get vaccinated, according to the AP.
The city has had a zero COVID-19 approach throughout the pandemic, but was unsuccessful when it came to the current wave that started in December.
