Authorities on Saturday put two more residential blocks at Tak Long Estate in Kowloon City under overnight lockdown, after suspected infections emerged from other buildings in the housing estate.
Tak Yu House and Tak Pui House were cordoned off on Saturday afternoon, after sewage samples there tested positive for Covid.
Residents are required to undergo overnight testing, and officials plan to lift the lockdowns on Sunday.
Anyone who has spent time in the buildings for more than two hours from February 20 to March 5 is also required to be tested on or before Monday.
During overnight lockdowns imposed on Friday, health authorities found 741 preliminary positive cases from nearby Tak Shan House, Tak Cheung House and Tak Kei House, after testing about 4,800 residents.
There were also 81 cases that were deemed indeterminate.
Separately, 230 suspected infections were also detected during overnight operations at three residential blocks in Tseung Kwan O and Sha Tin, with 18 cases being indeterminate.
Around 840 residents of Tower 1 and 2 of Twin Peaks, as well as 980 residents from Luk Chuen House at Lek Yuen Estate were tested overnight.
The buildings were sealed off on Friday because of positive sewage tests.
