The director of the Health Bureau, Luo Yilong, said that the 12 confirmed cases have a certain degree of possibility of related transmission, and there is no direct connection with places other than Macau. Therefore, the source is unknown. Basically, there will be more confirmed cases. I believe the source will be found. None of the cases have been linked to confirmed cases in Shenzhen.
