In Hong Kong today (27th) there were 33 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia, and 10 of the 31 local infections were of unknown origin.
The group of famous trendy restaurants in K11 Musea in Tsim Sha Tsui has further expanded. There are 15 more related cases, and another 7 related cases are initially confirmed. A total of 22 people have been infected today.
After more than two weeks, the number of new cases today broke 30. Director Zhang Zhujun of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Center for Health Protection of the Department of Health said that the number of confirmed cases has been observed to rebound in the last two to three days, partly due to the appearance of famous restaurants. It is believed that many cases of unknown origin are related to the Lunar New Year events and the relaxation of epidemic prevention measures by restaurants.

Zhang Zhujun said that he has observed a rebound in the number of confirmed diagnoses in the last two to three days, half of which is due to an outbreak in famous restaurants. Today, there are 10 cases that are not related to the earlier patients.
Looking through the records, the last time 10 or more cases of unknown origin were recorded on the 17th of this month.
She pointed out that in addition to the restaurant outbreak, many patients had gatherings and activities. The 10 cases with no source are widely distributed, which is believed to be related to the activities during the Lunar New Year and the relaxation of epidemic prevention measures in restaurants.
She pointed out that patients can be seen eagerly out of the street to eat, and their whereabouts reflect their active activities.
She pointed out that after the Lunar New Year and the relaxation of epidemic prevention measures, the epidemic will rebound, and it is necessary to observe whether the current measures can control the epidemic.
She said that the three tightened quarantine and testing arrangements mentioned yesterday will be implemented today, including if a staff member goes to work during the infectious period, all staff in the workplace must be tested.
The authorities will follow up local cases with no source, close contacts 7 days before the onset of illness need to be quarantined, and if close contacts develop symptoms, the family members of suspected cases need to be quarantined for 3 days.
The government launched the new crown vaccination program yesterday (26th).
