Hong Kong on Wednesday reported one imported Covid-19 case.

The patient is a 45-year-old woman who flew in from the UK and had received two doses of the Sinovac vaccine in May.

She did not show any symptoms, but tested positive for the virus during quarantine at the Nina Hotel Island South in Wong Chuk Hang.

The Centre for Health Protection said it had reported 41 coronavirus cases in the past two weeks, all of which are imported.

A spokesman for the centre appealed to the public to avoid non-essential travel as the global pandemic situation remains serious.
