The new crown pneumonia epidemic situation is deteriorating. There were 23 new confirmed cases yesterday (12th), increasing to 5,431 cases, of which 16 were imported cases, and 6 local cases were of unknown origin, including 5 drivers.
One of them was a 42-year-old man who had been to a wedding banquet for 2,300 people during the incubation period. Those who ate on the same table had to be quarantined.
Since his family and children teach and attend different schools, relevant schools have to be closed.
The University of Hong Kong analyzed recent cases and found that the genetic arrangement is similar to the imported case from Nepal. It is expected that the recent epidemic was caused by the imported case.

The employee is no longer required to be quarantined and can return to work normally, and the consulate's services are also being restored.

Driver groups were also involved, and the source of the infection was unknown. The situation may be similar to the current situation. , But it still takes time to follow up and observe.
