The Centre for Health Protection and the Polytechnic University separately performed genetic analyses for patients. The existing genomes of confirmed cases recorded earlier in Hong Kong were compared with the genomes of the patient (case 12258). The results were not the same. ) The existing genetic sequence is compared, and there is no genetic sequence uploaded by overseas countries that matches this case, but the patient’s genetic sequence is closer to the genetic sequence of confirmed cases in the United Kingdom, Europe, South Korea, and the United States.
In other words, the source of the patient’s infection has not yet been identified. Some experts have pointed out that the patient is suspected of being infected by a crew member who left "same day". "Confirmed" record.

After the diagnosis was confirmed, an investigation by the Department of Health found that the two had not complied with the home quarantine regulations and traveled to Tung Chung and Victoria Peak.
Tian Beichen, a member of the Legislative Council of the Real Political Roundtable, criticized the successive loopholes in the immunity system. "Is it necessary for more people to accompany him to the crime?" He thinks that the practice disturbs the people.
