Health officials on Monday evening locked down a block in Wah Fu Estate for mass testing, after a preliminary positive case was detected there, and traces of Covid-19 were found in sewage samples.

A spokesman said people living in Wah Yu House are subject to the order and have to be tested before midnight.

They must then stay at their flats until everyone has undergone tests and most results are out.

The government said the operation started at 8pm and it hopes to complete the operation at midday Tuesday.

Meanwhile, authorities said anyone who had stayed in Wah Yu House for more than two hours between February 1 and 14 have to get test before Wednesday, including those who’ve been vaccinated and who’ve been tested recently.
