Third lockdown on Sunday hit Mei Sun Building, Tai Po

Mei Sun Building in Tai Po has been locked down for the second time in four days since 9pm on Sunday, after two units D on the fifth and 10th floor reported Covid cases.

This came after a 66-year-old woman living in unit 10D tested preliminary positive just days after an Indonesian helper and her employers living in unit 5D were infected by the fast-spreading Omicron Covid variant. 

While authorities are evacuating all households living on units D between the sixth and 24th floor, they have locked down the building again – after first one last Thursday – to test all residents in an attempt to flush out all possible silent carriers.
