China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) reported 11 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, according to its Center for Health Protection.

Nine of the new cases are domestic transmissions, the authorities said, while the other two are from overseas. Sources of three of the nine local infections have not been identified.

The city has so far reported a total of 5,143 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 105 deaths.

The HKSAR government on Tuesday extended social distancing restrictions for another week till October 15 amid concerns about the probable worsening of local COVID-19 infections.
