In light of the positive test results for the COVID-19 virus from some sewage samples collected in Tuen Mun, the Home Affairs Department (HAD) said today (April 24) that the Tuen Mun District Office (TMDO) has distributed a total of about 95,000 COVID-19 rapid test kits to households, cleansing workers and property management staff living and working in the districts.
The TMDO distributed rapid test kits to households, cleansing workers and property management staff living and working in Melody Garden, Richland Garden, Yuet Wu Villa, Siu Hei Court, Siu Shan Court and 2gether for voluntary testing through the property management companies.
The HAD made the above arrangements in the hope of identifying infected persons early.
Persons tested positive through a rapid antigen test should take a photo of the test result and declare the result within 24 hours via the Declaration System for Individuals Tested Positive for COVID-19 Using Rapid Antigen Test. If members of the public encounter difficulties in using the online platform, they can call the automated system at 183 6119 to register their identification document and telephone number. The Centre for Health Protection will contact the relevant person later to complete the report procedure.
