No New Cases Found After Tuen Mun Lockdown

The government on Wednesday said no new cases of Covid-19 had been found following an overnight lockdown of a residential building in Tuen Mun, the home of a man who had tested preliminary positive for the virus, without a clear source of infection.

Block 2 of Tsui Ning Garden on Fung On Street was locked down at about 7 pm on Tuesday. Authorities said, as of 12 am, 985 people had been tested

On Tuesday, the Centre for Health Protection's Albert Au said the 42-year-old surveyor had not been vaccinated and that he hadn't been to any high-risk places, such as the Moon Palace restaurant in Kowloon Tong, the centre of an Omicron cluster.

The man, who works in North Point, saw a private doctor on Monday, after developing a fever. He was then sent to hospital.

Doctor Au said there was a high possibility that the man had been infected with the Omicron variant.
