Sha Tin blocks locked down over Covid

Authorities on Saturday sealed off two public housing blocks in Sha Tin, after sewage samples tested positive for Covid.

The buildings are Pok Tat House, on Pok Hong Estate; and King Wo House, on Wo Che Estate.

The government said it aims to finish the exercises early on Sunday afternoon.

Meanwhile, 150 preliminary positive cases have been found following a lockdown last night at a public housing block in Shek Kip Mei.

The operation at Block 21 of Shek Kip Mei Estate will now be extended until Sunday afternoon. Residents must now get tested a second time.
