The government said Financial Secretary Paul Chan will be working from home until Thursday after a second domestic helper at his official residence tested positive for the coronavirus.
The finance chief, his family and other helpers at the residence have undergone swab tests and given negative results.
A spokesperson for Chan's office said the helper last performed duties on February 27, adding that she had not been on the same shift as another helper who also tested positive for Covid-19 last week.
The spokesperson said even though Chan and his family are not considered close contacts, the Department of Health has advised the minister to work from home for a few days as a precautionary measure.
