Two former Cathay Pacific flight attendants were involved in unnecessary activities during medical surveillance after arriving in Hong Kong from the United States last year. One of them was involved in a lunch at Mochizuki Tower in Festival Walk, and both of them were diagnosed with the 2019 coronavirus disease Omicron variant virus strain.
They admitted today (29th) that they violated the prevention and control regulations. The defense claimed that the two were required not to leave their homes except for necessary activities, but the two sincerely but wrongly believed that their actions were necessary activities at the time of the incident.
The magistrate questioned that the statement constituted a defense, refused to accept the two's plea of guilty, and regarded them as not guilty, and scheduled a trial on August 15.
