The Government announced that the compulsory testing exercises and enforcement operations for Caribbean Coast Phase 4 in Tung Chung and Tai Wo Hau Estate in Kwai Chung finished today with no positive COVID-19 cases found.
It made restriction-testing declarations last night to cover Tower 16 of Crystal Cove, Caribbean Coast Phase 4, and Fu Wing House and Fu Wah House of Tai Wo Hau Estate, where about 890 and 1,949 people were tested.
In the subsequent enforcement operations, about 530 people's test records were checked. Six were found to have not undergone testing.
Government staff also visited around 1,183 households in the two areas, of which about 121 did not answer the door. These households are urged to contact the Government promptly to arrange testing.
