SPKC also said that five of the new cases were arrivals from Uzbekistan, seven had been in contact with arrivals, one is still being investigated.
Underlining the potential threat of importing cases from abroad, the previous day the SPKC also released a video urging people not to take people recently returned from overseas into their homes. It shows a door being unceremoniously closed to a visitor.
