SINGAPORE: Seven Singaporeans have been quarantined in Hong Kong.

They are among 350 people under quarantine at the Metropark Hotel where a sick Mexican tourist had stayed.

Three of the Singaporeans are at the Metropark Hotel in Wanchai, and four are at the Lady MacLehose Holiday Village.

According to the Hong Kong SAR government, some Metropark Hotel guests who were not willing to stay in the hotel had moved to Lady MacLehose Holiday Village in Sai Kung.

Staff and guests are required to stay either in the hotel or holiday villages which are used as isolation centres until the end of the quarantine order.

Responding to media queries, a Singapore's Foreign Ministry spokesman said the ministry has been in touch with the Singaporeans.

He added that they are fine, and have the ministry's contact number should they require any assistance.
