The government on Tuesday evening issued a compulsory testing notice (CTN) ordering people who had visited 22 specified premises to get tested for Covid.

The affected buildings include five residential blocks in Kwai Chung, three each in Sha Tin and Tsing Yi, two each in Tai Wai and Ho Man Tin, and one each in Ma On Shan, Hung Hom, Tung Chung, Sheung Shui and Kowloon City.

The notices also covered two restaurants, one in Cheung Sha Wan, the other in Central.

The government said the compulsory testing requirement also applied to people who had been vaccinated.

The Centre for Health Protection said Hong Kong reported 1,619 coronavirus cases on Tuesday.
