Hong Kong labour authorities have pledged to review the city's heat stress warning system following record-breaking temperatures. The announcement was made on Monday.
The review comes just a day after weather forecasters issued only the lowest-level alert for outdoor workers despite the extreme heat. This discrepancy has prompted public questions regarding the effectiveness and reliability of the current index.
