Health officials said on Monday that they had tested about 680 residents of Central and Western after two ambush-style Covid-19 lockdowns.

They said in a statement that the test result of one specimen was still being verified.

There were no further details.

The buildings in lock down were Kingsfield Tower, Fung Lam Building, Tung Ming Court, Lee Wai Building, Emerald House and Amber House on Pok Fu Lam Road in Sai Ying Pun; and Dynasty Court on Old Peak Road in Mid-levels.

A government spokesman said on Sunday that confirmed cases had been found in the area, and sewage samples had tested positive for the coronavirus.

The compulsory testing ended at about 7am on Monday.
