Health authorities on Monday reported three new imported Covid-19 cases, with all of the patients fully vaccinated.
The new patients include two foreign domestic helpers: one arrived from Indonesia on Saturday, and the other, from the Philippines, was diagnosed with the virus during quarantine. Both of them were asymptomatic.
The third patient is a 23-year-old man who arrived in Hong Kong from the US on Saturday after a layover in Japan.
The man had received two BioNTech doses in April and May, and had stayed in Jovial Court in Peninsula Village in Discovery Bay before he left Hong Kong on November 14. He had tested negative the day before.
Authorities put the residential block under lockdown on Sunday and tested around 270 residents there, but found no Covid cases.
