Health officials have again called on parents to inoculate their children against Covid-19 after yet another infected toddler was placed in intensive care. The boy developed croup, which narrows the airways, and was critically ill by Monday afternoon. Joanne Wong reports:

The government says it will arrange more Covid vaccine outreach services for kindergartens and child daycare centres to try to boost the vaccination rate among toddlers.

The Consumer Council has called for face masks to be regulated in the same way as other medical devices. It made the appeal after warning that one in five of the masks it recently tested had bacterial levels that exceeded European standards. Kelly Yu reports:

The Consumer Council's chief executive, Gilly Wong, says due to the bacterial load on some of the face masks it tested, they should not be worn by pregnant women or people with compromised immune systems.

He said the current littering fine was $1,500 while it could cost around a few thousand dollars to arrange for proper disposal. Wan told Samantha Butler how bad Hong Kong’s abandoned vehicle problem was:
