Government conducts enforcement action on compulsory testing notice at building in Ap Lei Chau

The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, together with the Western Police District and the Department of Health, conducted an enforcement operation today (December 9) at a building in Ap Lei Chau, which was included in a compulsory testing notice earlier. The operation commenced at around 8am and ended at around 11am today.

Starting from around 8am today, staff arranged by the Government stationed at the entrances/exits of the Hoi Yat Court, South Horizons, Ap Lei Chau, to verify the testing certifications of persons subject to compulsory testing so as to confirm whether they had undergone testing in compliance with the requirement of the compulsory testing notice. Persons subject to compulsory testing had to present the SMS notification containing the results of COVID-19 tests or relevant proof, to prove that they had followed the requirement pursuant to the compulsory testing notice and completed the test within the specified period.

During the operation, 342 persons were checked. Among them, five persons were found to have failed to comply with the compulsory testing notice. They were subsequently issued compulsory testing orders, requiring them to undergo testing within a specified period. Fixed penalty notices of $10,000 each were also issued to two of them.
