In light of positive test results for the COVID-19 virus from sewage samples collected in Sha Tin, Tai Po and Kowloon City Districts, the Home Affairs Department (HAD) said today (January 7) that the Sha Tin District Office (STDO), the Tai Po District Office (TPDO) and the Kowloon City District Office (KCDO) have distributed a total of about 71 000 COVID-19 rapid test kits to households, cleansing workers and property management staff living and working in the Districts.
The STDO distributed rapid test kits to households, cleansing workers and property management staff living and working in Baycrest, Kam Fai Court, the Entrance and Fu Fai Garden for voluntary testing through the property management companies and the owners’ corporations.
The TPDO distributed rapid test kits to households, cleansing workers and property management staff living and working in Tai Yeung Che, Chai Kek, San Tong, Ng Tung Chai, Pak Ngau Shek Sheung Tsuen and Ha Tsuen, Pak Tin Kong, San Uk Tsai, San Uk Pai, Ngai Kong, Kau Liu Ha, Chung Uk Tsuen and Ma Po Mei for voluntary testing through the Village Representatives and the resident representative.
In addition, the KCDO started distributing rapid test kits to households, cleansing workers and property management staff living and working in Bailey Garden, Wing Fai Mansion, Upper East and residential premises around Shek Tong Street and Shansi Street for voluntary testing through the property management companies, the owners’ corporations and the local organisation.
The HAD made the above arrangements in the hope of identifying infected persons early.
Members of the public may refer to the demonstration video produced by the Centre for Health Protection (CHP) under the Department of Health (DH) via www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzFAUzTtmKk to learn how to use the rapid antigen test (RAT) kit.
Persons testing positive through an RAT should take a photo of the test result and declare the result within 24 hours via the Declaration System for Individuals Tested Positive for COVID-19 Using Rapid Antigen Test (www.chp.gov.hk/ratp). If members of the public encounter difficulties in using the online platform, they can call the automated system at 183 6119 to register their identification document and telephone number. The CHP under the DH will contact the relevant person later to complete the report procedure. There is no need to declare negative test results.
