Health authorities on Thursday put a residential block in Lam Tin under overnight lockdown after a woman who lives there tested preliminary positive for a mutant strain of Covid-19.
The woman, 28, had left for the United States on November 20 and tested negative before her departure.
But when she returned to Hong Kong on Wednesday, her specimen taken at the airport was found to be carrying the L452R mutant strain.
She was fully vaccinated but is now symptomatic.
Officials are calling it an imported case, and people at On Kin House in On Tin Estate have to undergo overnight testing.
The patient's workplace in Central, where she was last at on November 19, will also be included in a compulsory testing order.
