| The twin babies arrived in HK on Jul 25 with 3 family members who tested positive ahead of them |
New data uploaded on the Hong Kong government’s press
information site suggest a seemingly sad story of a fraternal twin who flew in
from the Philippines
Yesterday’s report from the Centre for Health Protection
indicated a baby was among the eight imported cases confirmed as having tested
positive for the coronavirus disease.
This led to some confusion among Filipinos keeping an eye on
the daily press briefing, as another baby was also reported as having tested
positive a day earlier, or on Jul 27.
In both instances, CHP’s Dr Chuang Shuk-kwan said the babies
had flown in with members of their family, as well as a domestic worker.
The picture became clearer when CHP uploaded the details for
each confirmed case last night.
The second baby, listed as patient no 2826 on Jul 28, is
described as a one-year-old male with address at Tierra Verde in Tsing Yi. He
flew in from the Philippines
The first baby who was reported positive for the disease on
Jul 27, is identified as patient 2699. It is one-year-old girl, with the same
address as the baby boy. She showed symptoms apparently on arrival on Jul 25,
and tested positive two days after.
According to Dr Chuang, the babies’ family members were found infected earlier.

| The 13 patients flew in one day before a negative Covid-19 test result was required of all travelers from the Phl |
They appeared to be among a group of 13 new arrivals from the Philippines who tested positive as
of midnight on Jul 25, and were included in the list the next day.
Chuang listed them down as two sailors, nine domestic helpers and two employers.
The sailors were listed as Case No 2558, 46 years old, and
No 2614, 47 years old.
The babies’ family members including the domestic helper,
are Nos 2563-2566, listed as 43 year-old female; 53-year-old male; and 39
year-old female.

Most, if not all, the travelers from Manila flew one day before stricter new
measures were put in place, including presenting a negative result for a swab
Covid-19 test prior to boarding their flights to Hong Kong .
