Pok Oi Hospital says a four-year-old boy who died on Friday has subsequently tested positive for Covid-19.

The hospital said the boy's breathing and heartbeat were found to have stopped when he was taken to its accident and emergency department around 3.30am on Friday.

Hospital staff tried in vain to resuscitate him. He passed away at 4.16am.

Subsequent tests showed he tested positive for coronavirus.

The hospital said the coroner's court would look into the cause of the boy's death.
