Today, Apr 16, marked the second day in a row that
not a single locally acquired coronavirus disease or Covid-19, was recorded in
Hong Kong.
There was only one case reported by the city’s health
officials, and it involved a 19-year-old student who just recently returned
from the United Kingdom, and initially tested negative for the virus.
Her case brought HK's total tally to 1,017, with about half of the patients still in hospital.

On Apr 13 she returned home from quarantine and felt
a tingling sensation in her throat, but paid no need.
Yesterday, she ran a fever, so she sought treatment at Caritas Hospital where she was tested again for
the virus. This time, the result was positive.
