Coronavirus: Hong Kong domestic helper tests positive 5 days after completing quarantine


A Hong Kong foreign domestic helper who tested positive for the coronavirus five days after completing quarantine has been confirmed as infected, triggering compulsory screening orders on places she visited.

The 30-year-old woman, who arrived in the city from Indonesia via Cathay Pacific flight 798 on September 17, tested negative for Covid-19 at the airport and on six further occasions during her mandatory quarantine at the Silka Tsuen Wan hotel. But she returned a positive reading when she was back in the community, 26 days after landing.
