Overnight lockdowns at a private estate in Yuen Long and a public housing block in Ma On Shan were completed on Saturday morning - again with nobody testing positive.
The lockdown orders for both blocks of Fu Loy Garden on Ma Wang Road in Yuen Long and a block in Heng On Estate in Ma On Shan came on Friday evening.
A total of 1033 residents were tested and the authorities said they were all clear of the coronavirus.
The two locations were the latest to be sealed off in the government's 'ambush-style' operations aimed at stopping the spread of the coronavirus.
Among 17 such 'ambush' exercises in the past 11 days, two infections were detected, prompting medical experts to question the lockdowns' effectiveness.
