The government on Sunday locked down three public housing blocks in Sheung Shui, Tsz Wan Shan and Fanling, citing a range of factors such as sewage samples there testing positive for Covid.
Residents and recent visitors to Ching Yun House at the Ching Ho Estate, Ching Tak House on the Tsz Ching Estate, and Tower 1 of Wing Fok Centre must get tested.
Officials hope to complete all the exercises before noon on Monday.
An overnight lockdown of Ching Ping House, which is also on the Ching Ho Estate, picked up 11 infections, among nearly 17-hundred people tested.
And out of more than 750 people tested, another lockdown in Kwai Ming House of Kwai Hong Court in Kwai Chung found three positive cases.
Meanwhile, officials are giving out some 170,000 at-home rapid test kits around Diamond Hill and Ho Man Tin, after sewage samples there tested positive for Covid-19.
