In response to media enquiries, a Government spokesman said that the figure of 61 additional patients with symptoms of atypical pneumonia reported today (April 11) should be read together with yesterday's figure of 28. Today's figure included some cases carried over from the previous day due to the changeover from the manual reporting system to the on-line reporting system, which commenced yesterday.
