There were 10 new imported cases today, 8 of which were from the United Kingdom, 1 from Indonesia, and 1 from Russia via Turkey to Hong Kong on June 29.

Among all imported cases, except for the virus genetic test of people who arrived in Hong Kong from the United Kingdom on June 28, which is still in progress, the remaining 9 cases are all carrying the L452R virus.

Zhang Zhujun said that there have been 160 cases of L452R virus in Hong Kong so far, and 59 cases were found to be Delta virus, including local and imported cases.

In Hong Kong today, a new local case of unknown origin was a 41-year-old part-time cleaner in a quarantine hotel who also carried the L452R virus.

The Center for Health Protection checked the records and found that the Yau Ma Tei Bridal Tea House Hotel involved had only one confirmed person staying in the last 2 months. The patient number 11920 was an Indonesian foreign domestic helper who was admitted from June 20th to 27th and was admitted to the hospital on June 27th. After that, no one else lived in the room. Disinfection was arranged on the 29th. The newly diagnosed cleaner had gone in for cleaning. The sample was taken at the testing center that day and the sample was positive.

Mr. Qi received the first dose of Fubital vaccine on June 25, and the virus test was also negative on the same day.

Zhang Zhujun said that the L452R virus has the opportunity to involve the Delta variant virus, which has spread in 96 countries around the world. The WHO report also pointed out that the Delta virus is more infectious than the previous virus strain, and it is believed that it will be the mainstream virus strain in the next few months.

She said that many studies have shown that the BioNTech vaccine is very effective against mutated virus strains and hopes that citizens will get the shot as soon as possible.
