Hong Kong leader slams Cathay Pacific over Covid rule breach
The Omicron variant has found its way into the Hong Kong community beyond the strict quarantine system. The first community transmission has been blamed on a Cathay Pacific crew member who allegedly breached home quarantine rules.
"Omicron is raging around the world and it has now found its way into the community," Health Secretary Sophia Chan said.
Cathay said the employee was among five aircrew that tested positive in recent days, and is investigating the ‘serious breach of protocols.’
