Hong Kong reports 3,318 new COVID-19 cases

On June 26, 2022, a woman jogs along Seaview Promenade in Repulse Bay, Hong Kong. A spokesman for the Centre for Health Protection said that the new cases comprised 2,084 local infections and 143 imported ones.

The city reported 2,318 virus cases on Friday and 2,358 infections on Thursday.

The spokesman said that as the local situation of COVID-19 infection is still severe, it appealed to members of the public to continue to comply with social distancing measures and refrain from participating in unnecessary gatherings.

The spokesman said that this would lower the risk of infection and prevent the spread of the virus in the community.

More than three passengers tested positive upon arrival of a Turkish Airlines passenger flight TK 070 from Istanbul on Thursday, a spokesman said.

The Prevention and Control of Disease Regulation of Cross-boundary Conveyances and Travellers Regulation Cap was invoked by the government. From July 3 to 7 there are 599 H to prevent the landing of passenger flights in Hong Kong from Istanbul operated by Turkish Airlines.
