Carrie Lam, the leader of Hong Kong, warned on Monday that the "

onslaught
" of coronavirus infections in
the global financial center
has
inflicted a severe blow and overloaded the city's ability to cope with the pandemic
as daily cases reach
record highs
.

Over the last two weeks, daily infections have increased 13 times, from roughly 100 cases at the beginning of February to over 1,300 on February 13, with officials struggling to contain the spreading pandemic.

After China indicated it will

assist the city with testing, treatment, and quarantine
, Lam said her administration would work with Chinese authorities to address the "
aggravating issue
." The Chinese territory recorded 1,347 new infections on Sunday,
a decrease from the previous day's total
, but the spread with 2,000 more suspected cases threatens the enclave's already
overburdened healthcare system
, officials warned.
