Health officials on Saturday found almost a thousand preliminary positive Covid cases during overnight lockdowns of six buildings in Tuen Mun, Tsing Yi, Kwun Tong, Sham Shui Po, Ho Man Tin and Wong Tai Sin.
The blocks were cordoned off on Friday after sewage samples there tested positive for Covid.
