A total of 65 cases were reported in Hong Kong in the past 14 days, all of which are imported.

 

In view of a preliminary positive imported case who had stayed in Hong Kong during the incubation period, two specified premises are included in the compulsory testing notice.

 

Meanwhile, 12 schools are covered in a compulsory testing notice due to outbreaks of upper respiratory tract infection or influenza-like illness.
