Health officials on Friday said about 880 people tested preliminary positive for Covid-19 in a series of overnight lockdown operations in various districts.

Two buildings in Diamond Hill and Ho Man Tin – Fu Yan House in Fu Shan Estate and Tak Man House in Oi Man Estate – both recorded a 16 percent infection rate.

About 14 percent of the residents in Tin Lok House and Tin Fai House in Kwun Tong's Shun Tin Estate were also found to be infected.

Officials picked up 206 cases in Oi Hei House in Tuen Mun's Yan Oi Estate, and they also detected 59 cases from Hang Chui House in Tsing Yi's Cheung Hang Estate.

Officials said they will also follow up on dozens of indeterminate test results.

The buildings were cordoned off for testing on Thursday after sewage samples tested positive for the coronavirus.
