The city will stop the sale of imported small animals after a pet shop employee tests positive for the Delta variant, along with several hamsters sent from the Netherlands.

They said all pet stores in Hong Kong must stop selling hamsters and that about 2,000 small mammals, including hamsters and chinchillas, will be killed in a humane manner.

The government announced late on Monday that two former flight attendants have been arrested for leaving their homes during quarantine and later being confirmed to have coronavirus infections.It did not identify their employer, but said the two arrived from the US on December 24 and 25 and "conducted unnecessary activities" while under medical surveillance.
