One of them, a 30-year-old man, arrived in Hong Kong on August 6 from the United States.
He was vaccinated in the US in April with the BioNTech jab, and was found to carry the L452R mutated strain.
The second imported case involves a 22-year-old woman who flew in from Japan. She has been under quarantine at the Ramada Hong Kong Harbour View hotel in Sai Ying Pun, and has not developed any symptoms.
