Authorities on Tuesday afternoon locked down three blocks in Tuen Mun for Covid testing.

Residents of Blocks 4, 5 and 6 of Tsui Ning Garden are ordered to get tested after the virus was found in sewage samples from the buildings.

The government said it aims to finish the operation by 1pm on Wednesday and will provide food and daily necessities to the residents in the meantime.

Officials also ordered those who were in the buildings for more than two hours since February 23 to get tested by Thursday.
