It said 11 of them, aged between two and 39, had flown in from Pakistan on Tuesday.

All of them had been in Pakistan for months before returning to Hong Kong. They were taken to hospital from a quarantine centre after their coronavirus tests came back positive.

The latest cases take the total number of infections reported here to 1,193, with seven fatalities.
