Hong Kong reported its second case of coronavirus infection on Wednesday hours after its first report, a source has told the Post.

The second case involved a 56-year-old man who has been to Wuhan. An initial test came back positive, and the result of a confirmation test is still pending.

The man, who was initially isolated and treated at Prince of Wales Hospital, was transferred to Princess Margaret Hospital, where the Hospital Authority Infectious Disease Centre is located.

Earlier, a mainland Chinese tourist on Wednesday became the city’s first confirmed case of the new coronavirus infection, as authorities scrambled to trace four other members of his family who had travelled with him to the city before flying to Manila.
