******************************************************************************************
The YLDO distributed rapid test kits to households, cleansing workers and property management staff living and working in residential premises around Castle Peak Road Hung Shui Kiu through the property management companies, the owners' corporations and the Village Representatives.
The KCDO and the TPDO also distributed rapid test kits to households, cleansing workers and property management staff living and working in Lok Man Sun Chuen in Kowloon City District and Eightland Gardens, Ting Nga Court, Treasure Garden and Jade Plaza in Tai Po District for voluntary testing through the property management companies.
In addition, the K&TDO distributed rapid test kits to households, cleansing workers and property management staff living and working in Kau Wa Keng San Tsuen, Kau Wah Keng Old Village, Greenwood Regency, Phase 1 to 3 of Greenwood Villas, Happy Villa, Chung Shan Lodge, Regency Park and Wonderland Villas through the Village Representatives and the property management companies.
The HAD made the above arrangements in the hope of identifying infected persons early.
Members of the public may refer to the demonstration video produced by the Centre for Health Protection (CHP) under the Department of Health (DH) via www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzFAUzTtmKk to learn about the way of using the rapid antigen test (RAT) kit.
Persons tested positive through an RAT 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 (www.chp.gov.hk/ratp). 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 CHP under the DH will contact the relevant person later to complete the report procedure. There is no need to declare negative test results.
The Government appeals for the co-operation of members of the public to safeguard the health of themselves and their families by undergoing testing on a voluntary basis and fighting the virus together. The Government urges all individuals who are in doubt about their own health condition, or individuals with infection risks (such as individuals who visited places with epidemic outbreaks or had contact with cases that tested positive), to undergo testing promptly for early identification of infected persons to reduce the transmission risks of COVID-19.
