In a South China Morning Post report, the 29-year-old engineer from Dubai and his 31-year-old female friend, both of whom were confirmed as infected last month, were taken into custody on Friday and are being detained in Yau Ma Tei Police Station.
The man was arrested on suspicion of giving misleading information while his friend was detained for refusing to provide particulars, it added.
“We don’t know why they did not tell us but they might forget about the gathering or they deliberately hid the information from us,” the Hong Kong Information Services Department said.
