| One of the women who tested positive on arrival from Manila is now at Princess Margaret Hospital |
Three women who flew into Hong Kong from Manila on
different dates were among 11 new confirmed cases on Saturday, Jul 4.
The first is a 30-year-old woman who developed a cough
one day before flying to Hong Kong on Jul 3. She was taken directly from the
testing center at AsiaWorld-Expo to Princess Margaret Hospital in Kowloon after
testing positive.
She has two close contacts listed in the report from
the Centre for Health Protection, which could indicate that she’s a local
resident.

She was taken to Queen Mary Hospital from the Charterhouse
hotel in Causeway Bay where she was quarantined. She was asymptomatic.

| One of the women was about to end her quarantine when she tested positive |
The third is 36 years old and was in the Philippines
from Dec 26, 2019 until Jul 3 when she flew into Hong Kong.
For some unexplained reason she did not test positive
while at the airport, but at Tower 2 of the Waterfront in Tsim Sha Tsui where
she was on home quarantine. She was
asymptomatic.
