Gov’t reports two new cases linked to Zhuhai

Authorities reported two new Covid-19 cases yesterday involving residents of Zhuhai, the Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Centre has announced.

The first case is a 22-year-old resident of the mainland who works in an education center in Fai Chi Kei. She tested negative in two nucleic acid tests (NAT) on November 14 and 15 before testing positive yesterday.

She visited the express delivery area of the Gongbei underground mall in Zhuhai. This area is also linked to two of the recent cases.

The other case involved a 36-year-old mainland resident who lives in Zhuhai and spends most of her time in the pharmacy run by her husband near the Border Gate.

She also tested negative on November 14 and 15, but tested positive yesterday.

Authorities have conducted sanitization works on places she visited such as the Areia Preta Government Service Building and the Public Administration Building in Rua do Campo. 

Since Sunday, the city has recorded six cases.

The government has designated Broadway Hotel and Rocks Hotel for red-code holders as the city’s policy requires medical observation for those considered close-contacts of positive cases. LV
