Hong Kong's Center of Health Protection (CHP) said on Saturday that 17 new cases of COVID-19 were reported, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in Hong Kong to 862.
 
Among the 17 new patients who aged between six to 93, 10 of them had a recent history of travel, according to Chuang Shuk-kwan, head of the CHP's Communicable Disease Branch.
 
She said the source of infection of a 93-year-old man was unknown. The man was hospitalized between March 10 to April 1 due to a stroke. On April 3, he developed a fever and was admitted to hospital again and tested positive for COVID-19.
 
Chuang said a young woman in her 20s who had finished a 14-day home quarantine after coming back to Hong Kong from Europe in mid-March died on Saturday morning.
 
The case has aroused social concerns because the woman had a fever during quarantine but the health department of Hong Kong was not informed, Chuang said, adding that the woman's sample was preliminary tested negative for COVID-19 and the department will further investigate the cause of her death.
