The Housing Department and local District Offices will distribute quick antigen test kits to about 180,000 people at relevant locations for self-testing.
The government said that in response to the new crown epidemic, the Environmental Protection Department and the Drainage Services Department collected sewage samples in various districts for virus testing. In some areas, the results of the sewage were positive, indicating that there may be hidden patients in the premises in that area.
The Housing Department and the local District Office will distribute about 180,000 rapid antigen test kits to residents, cleaners and property management staff at the relevant locations for their own testing to help identify infected persons.
Regions include:
- North District - Wah Ming Estate, Yung Shing Court and King Shing Court

The government reminds people who have obtained a positive result for the first time with a rapid antigen test to declare through the online platform of the "2019 Coronavirus Rapid Antigen Test Positive Results Person Declaration System".
