Authorities on Friday detected 26 Covid infections after locking down two buildings in Tuen Mun and Kowloon Bay.

The other positive case was found in Choi Wui House of Choi Hing Court among 887 people tested. There were three indeterminate results.

The government said it would follow up on the 134 households that did not answer the door when officers visited to see if they had complied with the testing order.

It said it aims to finish the exercise at about 1pm on Saturday.
