In light of positive test results for the COVID-19 virus from sewage samples collected in Kwun Tong, Tuen Mun, Yuen Long and Central and Western Districts, the Home Affairs Department (HAD) said today (January 10) that the Kwun Tong District Office (KTDO), the Tuen Mun District Office (TMDO), the Yuen Long District Office (YLDO) and the Central and Western District Office (C&WDO) have distributed a total of about 68 000 COVID-19 rapid test kits to households, cleansing workers and property management staff living and working in the Districts.
The KTDO distributed rapid test kits to households, cleansing workers and property management staff living and working in Park Metropolitan and residential premises around Yee On Street and Luen On Street for voluntary testing through the property management companies, the owners' corporations and the owners' committee.
The TMDO also distributed rapid test kits to households living in To Yuen Wai, Tsing Chuen Wai, Yick Yuen Tsuen and Tuen Tsz Wai for voluntary testing through the Village Representatives and the resident representatives.
The YLDO distributed rapid test kits to households, cleansing workers and property management staff living and working in Vianni Cove and Central Park Towers for voluntary testing through the owners' corporation and the property management company.
In addition, the C&WDO distributed rapid test kits to households, cleansing workers and property management staff living and working in residential premises around Elgin Street for voluntary testing through the property management companies and the owners' corporations. The C&WDO also arranged to distribute rapid test kits to households living in the "three-nil" buildings with positive sewage test results in the District.
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.
