Six Covid-19 cases have been reported in Hong Kong on Saturday, and all three locally-transmitted cases are linked to previous infections.

The two other cases include a 29-year-old man who lives in Sham Shui Po and a 41-year-old woman who resides in Tung Chung.

The rest of the cases are linked to overseas travel, with all three patients coming from India.
