There have been unconfirmed reports that the authorities have captured a Covid-19 patient who fled from his isolation room in Queen Elizabeth Hospital on Friday.
Police reportedly arrested the 63-year-old man in Mong Kok on Sunday night and have taken him back to Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Health officials said earlier that the man had also tried to escape from isolation on Thursday.
A Hospital Authority spokeswoman said earlier the man had not been cooperating with medical staff.
The spokeswoman said it was unlikely that medics or other patients would be infected, because the man was wearing a mask.
Health officials reported 74 new Covid-19 cases on Sunday.
Of these, 70 were locally-transmitted, and 25 didn't have a known source of infection.
