The Permanent Secretary for Health, Dr. James Fong says they have some concerns regarding two of the 19 cases of COVID 19 but he is not in a position to discuss further details.

Dr. Fong says they do not want to be openly discussing conditions of patients without the families being notified.

Meanwhile, Head of Health Protection, Dr. Aalisha Sahukhan says 5 of the 19 active cases of COVID-19 are border quarantine cases that were announced before Sunday.

Nine are recently announced border quarantine cases and five are locally transmitted cases that have been linked back to the solider who was infected in the border quarantine facility.
