The Government said today (January 28) that in order to fight the COVID-19 epidemic, the Environmental Protection Department and the Drainage Services Department, in collaboration with the cross-disciplinary team of the University of Hong Kong, had strengthened the sampling of sewage for virus testing in all districts, and had recently detected positive results in Tuen Mun, indicating that there may be hidden cases in the district.
Upon review of records of compulsory testing notices issued for different areas in Tuen Mun, it is noted that some residents have not completed testing by the specified dates. As such, the Government appeals to the residents and those working in Tuen Mun to complete the required testing as soon as possible so as to identify the hidden cases and stop the spread of the virus in the district.
