The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) today said it is investigating three additional imported COVID-19 cases, with two of the cases linked to the L452R mutant strain and the other one linked to the N501Y mutant strain.
The patients comprise two men and one woman. While two of them arrived in Hong Kong from high-risk places, one came from a medium-risk place.
One of the cases tested positive for the virus at a community testing centre after completing compulsory quarantine at Penny's Bay Quarantine Centre. The remaining two tested positive during quarantine.
As people who resided or worked within the same building as the local COVID-19 cases with a mutant strain will be subject to compulsory testing on specified dates in accordance with the Department of Health’s announcement, the mobile specimen collection station at 15-17 Mody Road in Tsim Sha Tsui will be reopened tomorrow to provide free testing service for residents and workers of Harbour Pinnacle, 8 Minden Avenue.
The CHP reminded specified people in relation to Harbour Pinnacle to undergo compulsory testing in accordance with the compulsory testing notice.
