Government conducts enforcement action on compulsory testing notice at building in Tai Wai

The Water Supplies Department, together with the Drainage Services Department, Sha Tin Police District (Tin Sum Division) and the Department of Health, conducted an enforcement operation today (December 13) at a building in Tai Wai, which was included in a compulsory testing notice earlier. The operation commenced at around 8.15am and ended at around 11.15am today.

Starting from around 8.15am today, staff arranged by the Government stationed at the entrances/exits of Mei Pak Court, Tai Wai, 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, 208 persons were checked. Among them, two 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 one of them.
