Hong Kong: 98 COVID-19 cases identified The Centre for Health Protection today said it is investigating 98 additional COVID-19 cases, adding that eight new cases related to a domestic helpers' boarding house in Tai Po were reported. The centre's Communicable Disease Branch Head Dr Chuang Shuk-kwan told a press briefing there are 89 local cases, of which 30 have an unknown source of infection. “We are worried that the COVID-19 outbreak of domestic helpers in the Tai Po boarding house may affect more families throughout Hong Kong. That is why we are issuing a compulsory testing notice. Even though there is a list of visitors that we can obtain, we are not sure if that one is comprehensive.
