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.

The Centre is following up on the cases with the Japan and United Kingdom health authorities, and the epidemiological investigations of the cases are ongoing.
