HONG KONG—Hong Kong plans to offer COVID-19 vaccines to children as young as three as infections rage through the city.

The announcement late Sunday came ahead of another surge in cases. The city reported a record 2,071 new cases on Monday, with that number expected to double the next day with more than 4,500 preliminary positives identified.
