They were immediately arrested by the police. The case alleges that the two engaged in unnecessary activities during the medical surveillance period. The case was filed yesterday. The two are suspected of violating Chapter 599A of the Prevention and Control of Disease Regulation and have been released on bail. The case will appear at Tuen Mun Magistrates' Courts and Eastern Magistrates' Courts respectively on February 9.
