The entire Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra has been sent locked down after a woodwind player tested positive for COVID-19.

All 100 musicians have been sent to quarantine camp.

The infected player, identified as the bass clarinet, was on stage at last weekend’s concerts. A colleague texted: ‘I am being taken to a government quarantine camp with no Wi-fi for two weeks.’

Forthcoming performances have been cancelled for at least two weeks.
