The government on Friday evening ordered lockdowns for two residential buildings, in Hung Hom and Tsuen Wan, after a resident in each block tested positive for Covid-19.
Residents of Block D of Loong King Mansion on Ma Tau Wai Road and Tai Yuen House on Tai Pa Street are required to undergo a test for the virus and stay at home.
The testing operation in Hung Hom excludes shops and an elderly care home on the ground and first floors of the building.
A government spokesman said the patients from the blocks are carrying a mutant strain of Covid-19 and therefore "the risk of infection in the relevant area is assessed to be likely higher."
Authorities said they expected to wrap up the operations by around 7am on Saturday.
