The government cordoned off three blocks in Aberdeen, Lai Chi Kok and Tung Chung on Tuesday evening for compulsory Covid-19 testing.

Ka Sing House at Ka Lung Court on Tin Wan Praya Road in Aberdeen was locked down after a resident there tested positive for a mutant strain of the coronavirus.

Meanwhile, Mei Foo Sun Chuen Phase 3 and Monterey Cove Tower 1 in Caribbean Coast Phase 1 in Tung Chung were sealed off after preliminary positive cases were reported there.

Residents of the buildings must stay put until their test results are out.

The authorities said they aim to complete the operations by 6:30am or 7am on Wednesday.
