There are no confirmed cases in Hong Kong today (19th), and there are 42 consecutive cases in Japan.
However, in the initial confirmed case, a 27-year-old man who arrived in Hong Kong from the United States with the variant virus L452R tested positive for the new crown virus at Hong Kong Airport. Because he had briefly stayed in Hong Kong before going to the United States, he was still in the incubation period of the virus. As a precaution, the authorities decided to seal up his residence and residents in the same building must be tested for the virus.
The patient had received two doses of Fubitai vaccine earlier.
The government announced at 7:30 pm that the enclosure of the Sheung Wan "Shang Yin Mansion" where he had stayed will be included in the compulsory testing area. People in the building must stay on their premises and undergo compulsory testing. The action was completed at 7 o'clock.

List the imported cases are highly likely to be infected in the United States
There are no local cases of unknown origin in Hong Kong today, no press conferences on the epidemic, and 42 consecutive cases in Japan.
The Center for Health Protection announced in the evening that a 27-year-old man from the United States was initially diagnosed. He lived in Hong Kong and then traveled to the United States from July 4 to 18. The test before leaving Hong Kong and before leaving the United States was negative.
He returned to Hong Kong yesterday (18th) more than 14 days after he arrived in the United States. He was tested positive at the Hong Kong Airport and had the L452R variant virus. The amount of the virus was high. The CT value was 21-24.
The Center for Health Protection stated that the patient was most likely to have recently been infected in the United States and has classified this case as an imported case.
The patient lived in Hong Kong from June 27th to July 4th. Although he stayed in the United States for a long time and was probably infected in the United States, the incubation period of the variant virus can reach 21 days, so it cannot be completely ruled out that he was infected in Hong Kong Before he went to the United States, the authorities encircled the "Shangxian Residence" where he lived before leaving Hong Kong for safety reasons.
Two injections of Fubitai
The patient worked at Pacific Plaza, 418 Des Voeux Road West, and the last date for work was July 2.
The patient's workplace and the places he visited during the incubation period must also be included in the mandatory testing announcement.
Designated persons who have stayed in the relevant place at the designated time are required to undergo mandatory testing on or before the designated date.
Investigations by the center revealed that the patient had been vaccinated with two doses of Fubitai vaccine Fubitai in Hong Kong on April 26 and May 17.
The government has listed Shangxian Residence, Sheung Wan, where patients live in Hong Kong, as a restricted area from 7 pm tonight. People in the building must stay in their premises and undergo mandatory testing.
The government will set up temporary sampling stations in the "restricted areas" and require people under inspection to be tested before midnight tomorrow (20th).
The subject will be arranged to undergo a nucleic acid test at a sampling station, where the throat and nasal cavity will be sampled with a combined swab.
Before all persons have test results, the persons under inspection must stay in the premises to reduce the risk of cross-infection.
The government will arrange on-site sampling for people with limited mobility and the elderly.
