HK sees two imported cases from Switzerland and the US

Hong Kong on Friday saw two imported case from Switzerland and the US, without any untraceable local infection.
The city's tally currently stands at 11,985.

The two cases involved a 54-year-old man from Switzerland and a 44-year-old man from the US. They didn't develop any symptoms and they both received two doses of BioNTech vaccine in Hong Kong.

The 54-year-old received the vaccine on March 22 and April 12, while the 44-year-old received the vaccine on May 2 and 27.

The Centre for Health Protection added it is following up two newly notified overseas confirmed cases.

The first case involves a 45-year-old male patient. He departed Hong Kong on July 7 to Japan via flight JL0026. He developed symptoms on July 19 and his specimen collected the next day tested positive for Covid-19, while those collected on July 2, 3, and 5 in Hong Kong and on July 7 in Japan tested negative.

The second case involves a 48-year-old male patient, who departed Hong Kong on July 21 to London via flight CX251. His specimen collected on July 23 tested positive for Covid-19 and he remains asymptomatic.
