|
A Filipina domestic helper who returned from Manila 11 days ago was among 10 confirmed infections reported
by the Centre for Health Protection today, Sept 28.
Also among the confirmed patients today were two babies: a
5-month-old baby girl who arrived from Argentina on Sept 26 and a year-old
boy from Hung Hing Court,
Homantin who developed symptoms on the same day.
A CHP news staff said the 50-year-old Filipina was
asymptomatic when she arrived on Cathay Pacific flight CX906 on Sept 17. After
testing negative at the airport, she checked in at the Dorsett Hotel in Wanchai
for her mandatory 14-day quarantine.
On her second saliva testing yesterday, she was found
infected, and was sent to hospital.
Aside from the Filipina and the baby from Argentina, there were five other imported cases:
a 32-year-old man from Ukraine,
two 64-year-old men from India
and Myanmar, a 52-year-old
male returned from France, and a 49-year-old woman from Britain.
All three local cases, on the other hand, are linked to
previous infections. Apart from the baby boy, they include a 43-year-old male
construction worker at Kai Tak who tested preliminarily positive Sunday, and a
42-year-old woman who lives in Tuen Mun.
There are now 5,076 confirmed cases in Hong
Kong, with 105 related deaths. But only 141 are still in hospital,
including 122 who are in stable condition, 8 in serious condition, and 11 in
critical condition.
Because of the continuing spread of the coronavirus, members
of the public, especially the elderly, are advised to refrain from going out,
having social contact, and dining out. Everyone must wear a mask and maintain stringent
hand hygiene when in public.
