The government on Tuesday said it had found 145 preliminary Covid infections thanks to an overnight lockdown and testing exercise in Tung Chung.

More than 1,000 residents of Kit Yat House at Yat Tung (II) Estate were tested for the virus.

Officials said they also visited about 400 households during the operation, but nobody answered the door at 18 of them.

The tests were ordered after Covid was found in sewage samples from the building.
