Zhang Zhujun, director of the Infectious Diseases Division of the Center for Health Protection, said that a sample of a 29-year-old man (case 8724) who had arrived in Hong Kong from South Africa earlier found a South African variant of the new crown virus. (Case 8723) The South African variant virus was also found in the sample. In addition, the authorities also found the British variant virus in two samples imported from the UK (cases 8735 and 8739). The two patients were from the same family.
When asked about compulsory testing of more than 40 buildings, Zhang Zhujun said that he could not grasp how many testings were done. She said that one more unit at Jun Wang Hin, Yuen Long, where mandatory testing is required, has confirmed cases, which are in the same direction as the confirmed cases earlier, but with a difference of 14 floors. There are also more confirmed cases in Jifu Building in Wanchai, and the newly confirmed cases seem to have more contact with those diagnosed earlier.
