Hong Kong has reported 9 new Covid-19 cases today, of which 7 are locally-transmitted cases. Two imported cases include a student return from Switzerland who came back to Hong Kong on August 23. Chuang said although overall there’s a downward trend in the number of new confirmed cases, the epidemic has not been entirely under control. Chuang added as half of the locally-transmitted cases today are of unknown sources, 4 cases, there are still ‘invisible patients’ within the community. 30 Covid-19 confirmed patients were discharged from hospital in the last 24 hours.
