The outbreak of Omicron, a variant of the new crown virus, has expanded. The 28-year-old flight attendant (# 12676) of Cathay Pacific who was confirmed a few days ago has become another import related group.

The Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health announced early today (5th) that a 62-year-old woman living with the stewardess was diagnosed (# 12754), and nine friends who practiced dancing with the woman boarded the cruise this Sunday (2nd). "Ocean Spectrum" started a high sea cruise. One of them had received the 62-year-old woman at her home in Dongning Building in Causeway Bay. The foreign domestic helper in her family was diagnosed with a preliminary diagnosis yesterday (4th). Therefore, all nine people were listed as close contacts. The center was anxious last night. The "Ocean Spectrum", which was originally scheduled to return to the voyage tomorrow (6th), returned earlier this morning.

The 3,700 people on the ship are required to be tested today and are negative before they can disembark.

The center stated that nine close contacts of case 12754 boarded the cruise ship "Spectrum of the Sea" on January 2.

The 62-year-old woman in Case 12754 was a family member of a 28-year-old Cathay Pacific flight attendant exempted from quarantine (case 12676).

On December 31, 2021, she visited the residence of one of the above-mentioned close contacts in Dongning Building, Causeway Bay, and the 43-year-old foreign domestic helper of this close contact was initially diagnosed.

These nine people and 62-year-old women, a total of 20 people, danced together in Victoria Park and Causeway Bay Community Centre on December 31. Among them, apart from the 62-year-old woman, one person has been diagnosed and is believed to be the third generation of transmission.

The related cruise ship departed on January 2 for a "high seas cruise", originally scheduled to return on January 6.

According to the information provided by the shipping company, there are approximately 2,500 passengers and more than 1,200 employees on board.

After learning that close contacts had boarded the cruise ship, the center immediately asked the shipping company to isolate the nine close contacts on board and conduct virus tests for them on board. The test results were initially negative.

The center has requested the cruise ship to return early on the morning of January 5.

For the sake of prudence, the cruise ship will be included in the mandatory testing announcement. Anyone who has been on a cruise ship during the specified period must undergo mandatory testing on the specified day.

After the cruise ship arrives at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, the government will conduct virus testing for all passengers and employees, and the nine close contacts will be sent to the Penny's Bay Quarantine Center for quarantine.

Center staff will board the cruise ship to inspect the sanitation situation.
