The government on Tuesday morning issued a compulsory testing notice ordering people who've visited 73 specified premises to undergo Covid-19 tests.

"In view of a number of cases tested preliminarily positive/positive, 73 specified premises are included in the compulsory testing notice," health officials said in a statement.

They urged members of the public to go for tests on time, adding that officials will also visit the affected premises to notify residents.

"Furthermore, since some sewage samples collected in Tsz Wan Shan, Yau Tong, Kowloon City and Wong Tai Sin have tested positive, 12 specified premises or area are included in the compulsory testing notice," they added.

They said the compulsory testing requirement also applies to members of the public who are fully vaccinated.
