No report about newly confirmed or suspected cases were received today (September 27) as the Centre for Health Protection (CHP) continued with its investigation into the confirmed and suspected local cases of dengue fever.
There has so far been one confirmed local case involving a 46-year-old man.
The CHP will be doing confirmatory tests for four suspected local cases involving the man's three family members - his 47-year-old wife, eight-year-old son and 18-year-old son, along with the man's neighbour, a two-year-old girl.
Other than the above confirmed and four suspected cases, all laboratory results of tests on local residents at Stubbs Road, Deep Water Bay and Stanley Bay received so far by CHP were negative for dengue fever virus.
As at 5pm today, the CHP's hotline (2125 1122) has received a total of 52 enquiries.
Investigation continues. The CHP will organise a talk on dengue fever for residents of Wan Chai on October 1.
