Sai Kung sewage tests positive for Covid; testing kits to be handed out to residents

Tui Min Ho Village, Sai Kung

Positive sewage testing results have been found in the Sewage Testing Area Sai Kung 3A (SK Site 3A) – the area around Pak Kong, Sai Kung Town Centre, and Tui Min Ho. The Home Affairs Department will distribute COVID-19 rapid test kits to residents and all cleansing workers and property management staff working in the area starting from today (8/2) for them to take the test on their own, in order to help identifying infected persons.

Residents may refer to (www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjLzD3-gab4) for enquiries relating to the use of the rapid test kits.
    
When a positive result (including vaguely positive with a faint band showing on the test kit) is obtained, one should immediately seek medical attention for follow up management. Residents tested positive should stay home as far as possible to avoid spreading the virus in the community. The Government stresses that rapid test kit testing is not a substitute for the compulsory testing requirement. Individuals who are in doubt about their own health condition, who have visited places with epidemic outbreaks or have had contact with persons tested positive, etc, should undergo testing promptly at testing centres.
