The Centre for Health Protection said eight new Covid-19 cases have been recorded, four of which were locally acquired.
One of the latest patients was a 68-year-old man who developed a fever on October 5 and saw a private doctor on two occasions before being admitted to Tseung Kwan O Hospital on Sunday. It remains unknown as to how he caught the virus.
One of his family members, a 32-year-old man, developed symptoms one day later and has also been confirmed with the virus.
Another case with an unknown source of infection is a 48-year-old man who developed a fever on Saturday.
He sought treatment at United Christian Hospital the next day. He last went to work at CityPlaza One in Tai Koo on Friday.
