The condition of a toddler who was admitted to intensive care on Monday suffering from Covid-induced croup has improved. That was revealed at the daily coronavirus briefing on Tuesday.

The operator of the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal says it would take between three to six months to bring cruises back to Hong Kong, and many were bypassing the city with itineraries already planned for the next several years. Jeff Bent, managing director of Worldwide Cruise Terminals, said Royal Caribbean was the only cruise operator remaining in the city and pushing to get 'cruises-to-nowhere' restarted.

A parkour coach says the extreme sport is often misunderstood because of popular online videos. The remarks from Lo Chun-chung from the Hong Kong Parkour Association came after a teenager, believed to be doing parkour, plunged to his death from a Tsim Sha Tsui rooftop on Monday. Parkour practitioners sometimes run and jump between buildings. Lo has been teaching the sport for more than decade.
