Zhang Zhujun, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Centre for Health Protection, Department of Health, said that there were three new confirmed cases in Hong Kong today, all of which returned to Hong Kong via Doha Qatar Airways flight QR818 the day before yesterday. The 1081 and 1082 cases were two fathers and sons, the father was 38 years old and the son was 8 years old. The two arrived in Pakistan from February 3 to May 28. The initial virus test results were uncertain after returning to Hong Kong, and the diagnosis was later confirmed. The 1083th case was a one-year-old baby boy who was the son of the 1076 and 1077 cases. He was sent to the Junyang Village Quarantine Center yesterday, leaving a throat sample to be diagnosed and sent to the hospital.

Zhang Zhujun continued that there were a total of 83 passengers on the flight, 16 of whom had been diagnosed, that is, 19% were sick, a higher proportion. The four cabin attendants who had served the confirmed diagnosis had to be sent to the quarantine center; another eight cabin attendants and pilots had left saliva samples, all of which were negative.

Zhang Zhujun estimated that all 16 patients were infected in Pakistan because they left saliva samples when they got off the plane. If they were infected by airplane, the incubation period was too short. She added that the patients came from different cities in Pakistan, reflecting the seriousness of the local epidemic.
