The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong has fallen. The Department of Health announced today (25th) 2 new confirmed cases, both of which are related to earlier local cases. This is the lowest number of confirmed cases since the third wave of the epidemic on July 5, which is also the fourth consecutive The number of cases with unknown origin has increased to 5,059.

The two patients were a 50-year-old man and a 40-year-old man. The former was asymptomatic, while the latter became ill on Tuesday (22nd). There is an epidemiological connection with the local case and the diagnosis was confirmed at the quarantine center.

The third wave of the epidemic began in early July, and the number of confirmed cases initially remained at double digits.

As the virus spread in the community and invaded residential care homes for the elderly, Hong Kong experienced 13 days from mid-July to early August, where the number of confirmed cases exceeded 100, with a single-day peak of 149 cases.

Since then, the epidemic has gradually stabilized. The number of confirmed cases fell to a single number for the first time on August 24, and then 3 confirmed cases were recorded on September 18 and 23, which became the days with the least confirmed cases.

There are two new confirmed cases in Hong Kong today, both of which are related to local patients earlier, which is the lowest number of confirmed cases since the third wave of the epidemic.

Infectious and infectious diseases specialist Zeng Qiyin said on the RTHK program this morning that the number of confirmed diagnoses has "cooled down", and the case has started to have no unknown source.

He expects that the epidemic may be disrupted for another one to two weeks, and hopes to reach zero diagnosis by early to mid-October.

And Xu Shuchang, a government expert consultant and chair professor of the Department of Respiratory System at CUHK, said in a commercial program that it is a good phenomenon to have unknown cases in the past few days, but they still need to be observed for a longer period of time, hoping to achieve zero local diagnosis within a few weeks.
