In a second case there were two cases reported from the same house on dif- ferent dates as follows
On the 11th of May, a man named CHAN PO was reported sick from the first floor of No. 80 Second Street. He died on the 14th of May. During his illness he was nursed by his wife and daughter. On the 19th of May, the daughter re- ported that the mother had also died.
Two cases were also reported from No. 109 Second Street, first floor, on the 7th July, namely :——
LAI CHU, age 5, schoolboy, and LAI TAK, age 11 years, schoolboy. They were both removed to the temporary Hospital.
The younger boy LAI CHU during the afternoon was removed to the Kennedy Town Hospital at the request of the parents.
He died the following morning about 6.30 a.m.
The elder boy died about 2.30 p.m. the same day as he was admitted. The above two were brothers.
Except in the above there have been no cases reported where there has been any connection between them.
I enquired from most of the people as to what meat and vegetables they had with their meals, but could find nothing out of the common except that they all bought whatever they had at the Western Market.
