The last member of the four-strong Delta family cluster, who sparked an unprecedented city-wide nucleic acid test in August and a two-week lockdown of their residential building, has been discharged from hospital, the Health Bureau has announced.
The 51-year-old driver, the father of the schoolgirl who became infected with the virulent strain of Covid-19 during a school trip to Xi’an, has not been identified by name.
It is understood that the entire family has now returned to their apartment in Mei Lin Building on Rua de Coelho do Amaral.
