Looking at the new cases on the local WARS website it does seem like all cases over the last 24 hours are connected to overseas travel or 1 degree of separation from someone who has travelled overseas.

Kowloon Mosque closed according to Stand News. They are unsure if an imported case visited their mosque or smaller ones in SSP but they decided to close in the interest of public heath and safety stating that 4,000-5,000 people gather there per day.
There was an earlier case (yesterday?) of someone who had visited the mosque and was later diagnosed as being positive for covid-19.
