The government on Friday cordoned off several blocks in Tsing Yi, Tuen Mun, Ho Man Tin, Kwun Tong, Wong Tai Sin and Sham Shui Po for compulsory Covid testing of residents, after sewage samples from the buildings tested positive for the coronavirus.
The blocks under “"restriction-testing declaration" orders are Hang Lai House of Cheung Hang Estate, Oi Chi House of Yau Oi Estate, Tun Man House of Oi Man Estate, Chun Tat House of On Tat Estate, On Tung House of Tung Tau Estate Two and Fook Yuet House of Fortune Estate.
Residents of the buildings are banned from leaving their homes and have to undergo Covid tests.
Other people who spent more than two hours in any of the blocks from February 26 to March 11 are also required to undergo testing.
Authorities said they expect the lockdown operations to be completed on Saturday afternoon.
