Health authorities announced on Monday that they have arranged for some residents of three buildings in Kowloon to be evacuated over concerns that the Covid-19 virus had been spreading through means of vertical or horizontal transmission.

In a statement, the Centre for Health Protection (CHP) said residents of units 15 on the 26-35th floors of Kai Yan House at Kai Tin Estate in Lam Tin; those living in units 03 and 04 on floors 21-28 of Him Tat House in Kwun Tong’s On Tat Estate; as well as residents of units 12 on the 20-28th floors of Willow House at So Uk Estate in Cheung Sha Wan will be moved to a quarantine centre.

Separately, the CHP said Cathay Pacific had been banned from flying passengers from Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong from Monday until February 20, after four passengers who arrived on CX724 last Saturday tested positive for the virus.
