The number of new Covid cases in Hong Kong dropped further to 347 on Tuesday.
This was 84 fewer than Monday.
Among the new cases, 205 were confirmed by PCR tests and the rest were reported by people who took self-tests.
The number of newly recorded Covid-related deaths fell to seven.
Officials also said there were 12 imported infections.
The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) said three travellers tested positive 12 days after they arrived in Hong Kong.
Dr Chuang Shuk-kwan of the CHP said they were believed to be re-positive cases as the individuals were infected with Covid by the end of March.
The patients flew in from Indonesia, South Africa and Singapore, she added.
Chuang said officials are currently focusing their efforts on carrying out contact tracing at high-risk venues such as elderly care homes and schools.
She added that the vaccine pass scheme should continue to be enforced at places such as restaurants where the virus is more easily transmitted.
