Health authorities on Sunday reported nine imported Covid-19 cases, including six sea crew members who arrived from Japan.
They arrived on cargo ship Glory Sky on December 1 and had been undergoing quarantine on the vessel after one of their colleagues came down with the virus earlier.
The Centre for Health Protection said the six sailors tested positive for the virus during the quarantine period.
It said tests would be conducted on the remaining crew who would continue their quarantine on the vessel.
The three other Covid cases involved travellers who flew in from the United Kingdom and Pakistan.
Meanwhile, Swiss International Airlines says it's temporarily suspended flights to Hong Kong until December 11.
A spokesperson said the company made the decision as a result of the SAR's tightening of quarantine restrictions for crew members.
SWISS says the move affects a total of four flights from Zurich, adding that it will monitor the situation and decide when to resume services.
