Her comments came as Hong Kong reported 72 new infections today, including nine linked to overseas travel. Thirty-nine of the local patients were linked to previous cases, including clusters at the Star Global sales company and the Kwai Chung container terminal. However, the four had tested negative for the virus. Meanwhile, the Hospital Authority also expressed concern over an elderly patient who only tested positive for the virus after undergoing a third test. The 70-year-old man was admitted to Kwong Wah Hospital last Monday and had repeatedly tested negative until a preliminary positive came back on Saturday.
