Five Filipino band members who played regularly in Lan Kwai
Fong have tested positive for Covid-19, one day after their soloist was
struck down by the disease.
The musicians, three males and two females, were among 30
new cases reported in Hong Kong on Mar 24. Their nationality was confirmed with Consul General Raly Tejada the next day, Mar 25.

Earlier, Hong Kong's Centre for Health Protection informed ConGen Tejada that one newly arrived Filipina domestic worker had tested positive for the coronavirus disease.
She flew into Hong Kong from the Philippines on Mar 20, and was confirmed to have the disease two days later, while on home quarantine.
The 7 new cases made up the biggest number of Filipino patients recorded in a single day since the pandemic spread to Hong Kong in late January.

Congen Tejada had said earlier that it was unusual for the CHP not to alert
him immediately about a case involving a Filipino.
He said he listened to CHP’s briefing about the new cases
earlier in the day, and got the impression that the band members were
foreigners who had shared instruments, which could have caused the virus to
spread among them.
However, various media outlets have already identified the
musicians as all Filipinos who were with the same band as the 29-year-old male
soloist confirmed to have the disease the previous day.
