A variant of the new crown pneumonia virus strain has invaded the community, and all the residents of the patient’s residence building were sent for isolation and quarantine.

After half a month of investigation by the Health Protection Center, the source was an Indian male (#11643) who had returned to Hong Kong from Dubai. However, he and his Filipino girlfriend (#11672) reported their whereabouts as suspected of "pumping toothpaste".

According to the news, the Department of Health has officially launched an investigation into the Indian male's concealment of his whereabouts. The police officers will take a statement. As to whether prosecution will be initiated, it will seek advice from the Department of Justice.

"Hong Kong 01" is inquiring with the authorities.

The variant virus invaded the community. The first case came from an Indian man who was diagnosed on the 16th of last month. His Filipino girlfriend was later infected.

Only the two were involved in "concealing reports" at least three times, and only accounted for their whereabouts whenever there was a confirmed case of a variant virus in a new location.

According to the news, the Department of Health has officially launched an investigation into the Indian male's concealment of his whereabouts. The police officers will take a statement. As to whether prosecution will be initiated, it will seek advice from the Department of Justice.

The chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Centre for Health Protection, Ou Jiarong, said yesterday that the two "don't remember, don't remember the illness, they are fixed, and still need to be investigated." He pointed out that the female patient was "not too cooperative."

He emphasized that anyone who deliberately conceals or reveals false information can be followed up with the law seriously.

The Indian man is still in Hong Kong for the time being, and the protection center may prosecute the two if it finds concealed evidence.

On the 30th of last month, a Filipino domestic helper in Yingwan Garden, Tung Chung, was diagnosed with a case of unknown origin. As a result, almost all residents of Tung Chung District and 370,000 foreign domestic helpers in Hong Kong were required to undergo compulsory testing.

After genetic sequencing, experts found that the Indian male and Tung Chung Filipino domestic helper virus strains were 100% identical, but the authorities have not been able to grasp whether there is cross-spread.

"Suddenly remembered" I went to Tung Chung half a month later

Until the 3rd of this month, the government announced that Indian males and Filipino girlfriends "suddenly" remembered that they had been to Citygate and Curry Lounge by the Seawall on the 11th of last month; on the 4th of this month, they remembered again. Stayed at Novotel Citygate Hotel Tung Chung on the 10th, and went to Zak's, D'Deck restaurant in Discovery Bay on the 11th.

"Hum toothpaste" report whereabouts

In addition, Kornhill Filipino domestic helpers and Pokfulam Haofeng Filipino domestic helpers have been diagnosed one after another, and the source was also listed as unknown at one time.

The Department of Health later announced that the original Indian man and his Filipino girlfriend had visited their relatives and friends at the home of Fengxinglou, Xinghua (2) Village, Chaiwan, on the 13th of last month. Among them, 3 participants had been to Sham Shui Po after 5 days. The party at No. 37 Fuk Wing Street in Poo infected the three Filipino domestic helpers who were on the same day.

In many cases of the variant virus, after an Indian man and his Filipino girlfriend reported their whereabouts in a suspected "toothpaste" style, the patient's relationship began to surface gradually.
