Hong Kong has continued its streak of zero local infections when it announced only one imported Covid-19 case today, May 19.
The confirmed patient is a 28-year-old
male seafarer from India who tested positive on arrival at the airport. Air and
sea crew are exempted from the flight ban imposed on countries classified as “extremely
high-risk”, which includes India, Pakistan, the Philippines and Nepal.

That untraceable case pertains to a four-year-old boy who might yet be declared as false positive as his tests at the hospital reportedly showed he did not have coronavirus. Neither does he have antibodies, which suggest a healed infection.
Meanwhile, the Centre for Health Protection said it is investigating an overseas case. It involves a 43-year-old male patient who was found positive for Covid-19 after arriving in Shanghai from Hong Kong on May 16.
