Thirty two Hong Kong residents have tested positive in the coronavirus screening carried out in the two weeks ended yesterday. Four of these were former patients declared free of the disease, while at least one other had recovered without knowing they were infected, RTHK reports. Other people flagged up by the mass testing scheme were found to be connected to recent coronavirus outbreaks, particularly a cluster of cases at a Fo Tan factory building. Some experts said the government testing program indicated there were somewhere from 40 to 60 silent carriers of the disease in total in Hong Kong.
