A 48-year-old worker at the airport cargo terminal was diagnosed on Friday (8th). 51 local sites in Hong Kong were cleared and disconnected. The source of the infection has not yet been traced.
According to sources, he has a higher chance of being infected by a crew member who returned on the same day. Because the crew of the cargo plane had to deliver to different countries, some people would return on the same day and did not enter Hong Kong, so they were not tested. Therefore, they have not been diagnosed.
However, it is currently difficult to determine which country the crew of the infected patient came from, and it may be difficult to trace the source.

It is understood that the confirmed airport cargo terminal workers have a higher chance of being infected by the crew members who turned back on the same day. Because the crew members of the cargo planes need to deliver to different countries, some people will turn back on the same day and did not enter Hong Kong or undergo testing. Confirmed.
However, it is currently difficult to determine which country the crew member of the infected patient comes from, or like the Cathay Pacific VIP lounge staff who was infected in mid-August, since the transit passengers do not need to be tested for the virus, it may be difficult to trace the source.
The genetic analysis team of the Polytechnic University stated yesterday that the virus genes of the confirmed airport cargo terminal workers are similar to those confirmed in the UK at the end of September, but there are still 7 mutations.
However, the seven mutations are already obvious differences, and there is another news that the worker has not handled flights from the UK in the past three weeks.
