Four residential blocks in Kwun Tong, Aberdeen, Sham Shui Po and Tsuen Wan have been sealed off for overnight testing after their sewage samples tested positive for the coronavirus.
Officials said there could be infected people without symptoms in Tsui Yue House of Tsui Ping (North) Estate, Lei Chak House of Ap Lei Chau Estate, Cheong Chung House of Nam Cheong Estate and Kwai Shue House, Lei Muk Shue (Two) Estate.
The government said anyone else who had been in one of the buildings for more than two hours between March 11 and March 24 will also need to get a Covid test, unless they have tested positive for the virus in the past three months.
