Health officials on Tuesday reported two new Covid-19 infections, both of them imported cases.
One of the patients, a three-year-old girl, flew in from Mongolia via Korea on October 17.
The other patient is a 51-year-old man who flew in from the United Kingdom the same day.
Meanwhile, Health Secretary Sophia Chan urged people to get vaccinated against both the coronavirus and flu.
"Evidence repeatedly indicates that a person who contracts influenza and Covid-19 at the same time may be more seriously ill and will have a higher risk of death," Chan told the media after attending a vaccination seminar for the public.
