Ou Jiarong pointed out that a total of 3 people in Haoyuan were infected with the virus, and the brief description is as follows:

.

In a preliminary confirmed case, the patient had symptoms on January 15, a 26-year-old man. He consulted a private doctor on January 18 and 22, and was initially confirmed to be positive at a community testing center on January 23, with a CT value of 34.

The patient reported that he had bought hamsters at "i love rabbit" at No. 160 Tung Choi Street in early December, and had been handed over to the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department for testing today.

The patient lives on the 5th floor.

A colleague of his was also initially diagnosed today. He was doing pyramid selling work together on the street. The colleague developed symptoms on January 19 and had a runny nose. He lives in Lung Lok House, Lower (2) Village, Wong Tai Sin.
