    And good to see HK's health service is picking up the tab for them, because they wouldn't take cheap and widely available prophylaxis.

    Reminds me of a large swathe of elderly HK.... now what's that term again?.... oh yes.....'covidiots'.... a term supposedly invented for people who wouldn't wear masks, oh the sweet sweet irony.

    Not to mention they are in isolation beds.

    Cause malaria is highly contagious person to person and nothing to do with being bitten by a mosquito.

    Today’s reporter (Now TV): if all the passengers from Africa are being sent to the same hotel, is there a possibility of hotel transmission of malaria?

    Should people going to Hong Kong start thinking about getting Malaria vaccinations?

    No. WHO recommend the vaccine for children in moderate to high risk areas.

    Would HK soon be classified as moderate? With the recent increase in cases
