HONG KONG - Officials are now reviewing whether to make Covid-19 vaccination compulsory for foreign domestic helpers after the move, announced last Friday (April 30), was widely criticised. The controversial policy was announced after tests showed that a 39-year-old helper from the Philippines had the more infectious South African variant of the coronavirus, N501Y. She became the second helper to be infected with the variant but the first in which the source of infection was unknown. The earlier patient was also asymptomatic.  The latest case led officials to send about 400 households from a Tung Chung residential block called the Caribbean Coast into quarantine for three weeks.
