Hong Kong's Center for Health Protection (CHP) reported on Wednesday 51 new confirmed cases of the COVID-19, taking the total number of confirmed cases in Hong Kong to 765. The 51 new cases involve 28 males and 23 females aged between 40 days and 65 years. Among them 34 people had travel history during the incubation period, including 13 students who had been studying overseas, Head of the CHP's Communicable Disease Branch Chuang Shuk-kwan told a daily press briefing.
The 40-day-old baby became Hong Kong's youngest COVID-19 patient. The baby was in a stable condition now, and his parents tested negative for COVID-19.
Chuang advised young people to reduce visits and contact to the elder and babies as they were vulnerable to be infected by young people who carried the virus without knowing during the incubation period.
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Chief Executive Carrie Lam Tuesday went to the headquarters of Po Leung Kuk, a local charity, to visit its mobile Chinese medicine clinic and learn about its support services for the underprivileged during the epidemic.
Lam said that many people are facing hardship amid the severe epidemic situation and that the government will provide full support to them. She also urged the public to stand united, support each other and care more about the underprivileged sectors of the community during this period in order to overcome the epidemic together.
