Two medics in Guangzhou Eighth People's Hospital tested positive for COVID-19 on June 11 and are currently receiving treatment at the hospital, the provincial health commission said Monday, adding that both of them are in stable condition.

They tested positive during a routine nucleic acid testing at the hospital. All their close contacts have been isolated for medical observation, and no positive nucleic acid test results have been reported so far. The major places they had visited have been disinfected.
