"20th January 2022 – (Hong Kong) Dr.Chuang Shuk Kwan from the Centre for Health Protection said this afternoon that the genome sequencing results of two previous cases i.e. Case No.13072, a kindergarten teacher who lives in Mei Foo Sun Chuen and Case No.13045 are similar. Case No. 13045 is a 43-year-old female Pakistani woman who tested positive for Omicron variant sub-lineage BA.2 earlier and resides at a unit 14 of Tung Moon House, Tai Hang Tung Estate, Sham Shui Po. The 2 children of Case No.13045 went to school by taking MTR. They are Cases No. 13067 and 13069). Cases No.13072, 13067 and 13069 probably infected each other within 9 seconds at Mei Foo MTR station when they walked past a tunnel near Exit A on 14th January. All of them wore masks. They did not have direct contact with each other."

"Also, after comparing the genetic sequencing, it was confirmed that the genomes of case 13072 were identical to the genomes of a case epidemiologically linked with imported case earlier (case 13045). It was also found that case 13072 had a brief encounter with cases 13067 and 13069 (family members of case 13045) on January 14 at Mei Foo MTR Station. Case 13072 is thus reclassified from a local case to epidemiologically linked with imported case."
