Seven residential blocks locked down

Seven residential blocks in Tuen Mun, Kwun Tong, Ho Man Tin and Wong Tai Sin were placed under overnight lockdowns on Saturday, after sewage samples there tested positive for Covid-19.

Block One of Tsui Ning Garden, Wai Tung House at Tung Tau (II) Estate, Shun Man House at Oi Man Estate, Yin Tat House at On Tat Estate and Nga Yuen House at Chuk Yuen South Estate were cordoned off this afternoon.

Oi Lok and Oi Yee Houses of Yau Oi Estate were also put under lockdown.

Health officials said they suspect there are asymptomatic patients in the buildings, and will require residents to get tested.

Infections have already been found during earlier lockdowns of other blocks at most of these housing estates.

Anyone who has spent over two hours at these buildings from February 27 to March 12 will also need to get tested on or before Monday.
