The Centre for Health Protection reported 431 new Covid-19 cases on Monday, two more than on the previous day.
According to CHP’s Dr Chuang Shuk-kwan, among the new cases were 19 involving students and teachers, who are all required to present a negative result for a Covid-19 test before being allowed into schools.
The schools reported a case each, including five confirmed by PCR tests and 14 through rapid antigen tests.

Among those who took a self-test, eight were confirmed on Monday, four on Sunday and two last Saturday. Five of them were due to return to school today while five were in class last week.
Chuang said it's believed the patients contracted the virus in the community rather than on campus.
She said that none of the schools has reported any outbreak and the infected people had not gone to school after testing positive. In this case, officials will just have to continue observing the situation.
