An employee of the government's Information Services Department has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

The employee visited New Zealand and Britain when he went on vacation between March 7 and 18.

After returning to Hong Kong, he's been working from home, without returning to the office or getting into contact with his colleagues.

He works at the department's office in Harbour Building in Sheung Wan. As a precaution, authorities have arranged the office and other public areas in the building to be disinfected.
