On Friday, the city marked a third straight day with more than 50,000 Covid-19 cases, confirming 52,523 new infections and pushing the official tally to 403,080. Another 136 Covid-19 deaths were reported in the last 24 hours, with patients aged between 29 years and 102. Seventy-three of those who died came from care homes while 97 were unvaccinated.
The fatalities over 24 hours do not take into account those previously uncounted because of a backlog, but so far some 1,086 deaths have been announced between February 25 and March 4, reflecting the toll the fifth wave has taken on the population. The fatality count for the four previous Covid-19 waves combined was 213.
Officials on Friday also revealed more than 72 per cent of care homes in Hong Kong were experiencing outbreaks, with 9,800 residents – or 13 per cent of this demographic segment – and about 2,850 staff infected. Nearly 75,000 elderly and disabled people live in residential facilities in Hong Kong.

It appears that Hong Kong is only now entering the Covid-19 phase that many other countries entered and exited already.
The "surge" will pass in Hong Kong too.
Just get vaccinated and protect the seniors while the storm is upon you.
