Five new imported cases of Covid-19 were reported today, Feb 1, including two newly arrived domestic workers from Indonesia and one from the Philippines.

The two others are a returnee from the United Arab Emirates who flew in on Jan 30, and another from Nepal, who was found to have the more contagious coronavirus variant on his 12th day in hotel quarantine.

They were among 34 new infections reported by the Centre for Health Protection at its daily news briefing on the pandemic. Of the 29 local cases, eight were untraceable.

The 21 linked cases included two from the Luk Yeung Sun Shuen estate in Tsuen Wan, where 12 infections have so far been reported.

Among the buildings she mentioned were 95-99 Cheung Sha Wan Road in Sham Shui Po, 66A Parkes Street in Jordan,  63 Pokfulam Road, 11-17 Fort Street in North Point, Block K of Tun Man House in Oi Man Estate in Ho Man Tin, 8 Station Lane in Tai Wai, and 8-12 Wilmer Street, Sai Ying Pun. 

Under tighter testing rules, a single infection in any residential or commercial building will trigger compulsory testing for everyone who had stayed there for more than two hours within the past 14 days.

Among the untraceable cases was a staff member at the Salvation Army elderly care home in Nan Shan Estate, Shek Kip Mei.  About 50 residents there will be moved into quarantine, while the number of staff who will also be isolated is still being determined.

One confirmed patient passed away yesterday morning, raising the total death toll in public hospitals to 177. The 85-year-old female patient succumbed to Covid-19 complications at United Christian Hospital.

There are now a total of 10,487 confirmed cases in Hong Kong.
