6 imported virus cases found
The Centre for Health Protection today said it is investigating six additional COVID-19 cases, all of which are imported. Five of the new cases involve mutant strains and the mutation test result of the remaining case is pending. Among the six patients, aged 30 to 69, four arrived in Hong Kong from high-risk places while the others were from medium-risk places. Five of them tested positive for the virus during quarantine, including one patient who is a close contact of a previous imported case. The remaining patient, a close contact of another three previous imported cases, tested positive at a hospital where he accompanied one of the infected people. A total of 60 cases were reported in Hong Kong in the past 14 days, all of which are imported. For information and health advice on COVID-19, visit the Government's dedicated webpage.
