Government staff fit wristbands on people subject to compulsory testing in the Tuen Mun restricted area as proof that they have been tested for COVID-19.

 

The Government announced that the compulsory testing exercise and enforcement operation for the Tuen Mun restricted area finished today with no confirmed COVID-19 case found.

 

It made a restriction-testing declaration last night, requiring people living at Block 6 of Handsome Court to stay in their premises and undergo compulsory testing. About 300 residents were tested.

 

In the subsequent enforcement operation, around 90 people were checked and 10 were found to have breached the compulsory testing requirement.

 

Government staff visited about 100 households, of which six did not answer the door. The households concerned should contact the Government as soon as possible to arrange testing.

 

People who stayed in the building for more than two hours from June 30 to July 22 must undergo compulsory testing by July 24 even if they were not present in the restricted area when the declaration took effect.
