The government on Sunday locked down two blocks at a public housing estate in Kowloon City, after sewage samples from the buildings tested positive for Covid-19.

Residents of Lok Ching House and Yan Ching House on Kai Ching Estate must now get tested for the coronavirus, and then stay at home until further notice.

Authorities said they suspected there were asymptotic patients in the buildings and that they hoped to complete the testing exercise at about noon on Monday.

Anyone who has spent more than two hours in the buildings between February 21 to March 6 must get tested by Tuesday.
