The Centre for Health Protection today said it is investigating 6,063 additional COVID-19 cases, of which four are imported and the rest are locally infected.

A total of 25,985 positive cases were reported in Hong Kong in the past 14 days, comprising 92 imported and 25,893 locally acquired cases.

The Centre for Health Protection analysed 46 death cases who had been infected with COVID-19 from the end of December last year and found that only six of them had received a COVID-19 vaccination.

Among these cases, three of them had two doses of Sinovac vaccine, one had two doses of BioNTech and the remaining two had one dose of Sinovac.

In view of the positive sewage test results of Pok Tat House, Pok Hong Estate and King Wo House, Wo Che Estate in Sha Tin, the Government made restriction-testing declarations tonight to cover these two buildings, requiring people in the restricted area to undergo compulsory testing.

Positive sewage test results were found at Block 21, Shek Kip Mei Estate, Sham Shui Po where 150 people in the housing block have preliminarily tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, the Government has extended the restriction-testing declaration period to tomorrow.

As sewage samples collected in several areas of Kwai Tsing, Kwun Tong, Southern and Wong Tai Sin Districts tested positive for the virus, the Home Affairs Department will distribute COVID-19 rapid test kits to all cleansing workers and property management staff working in those areas from tomorrow.

In view of a number of preliminary positive and positive cases, 33 specified places are included in a compulsory testing notice.

Free testing services will be provided tomorrow for people subject to mandatory testing at community testing centres and mobile specimen collection stations located at 61 places in the city.

Starting tomorrow, the Government will set up an additional mobile specimen collection station at the Mini-Soccer Pitch of Kowloon Park.
