The number of new coronavirus infections in Hong Kong continued to drop on Thursday, with 10 cases reported, six of which were locally acquired.

The Centre for Health Protection was unable to trace the source for three of the infections – a 15-year-old secondary school student, a 35-year-old marketing manager and a 36-year-old engineer.

Health officials said they hope the decline in the number of cases linked to a gym in Sai Ying Pun means the outbreak there has been brought under control.

Four imported cases reported on Thursday involved people travelling from the Philippines, Pakistan and Indonesia.

The latest cases took the territory's pandemic tally so far to 11,350.
