Health officials said on Friday they've picked up 80 preliminary Covid cases in a two-day lockdown of a public housing estate in Tung Chung.

They were among around 6,000 residents tested in Mun Wo House of Mun Tung Estate since Wednesday.

The government said it will distribute disinfection products and surgical masks to people testing preliminary positive, as they wait for follow-up arrangement.

Results for three people are considered "indeterminate" and health officials said these cases will be followed up accordingly.
