The CHP said a compulsory testing notice will be issued for the building where he lives, his workplaces, and the places he visited during the incubation period.


A separate CTN was issued earlier over a wide swathe of places in Tai Po after sewage samples found in the area reportedly tested for the coronavirus, “with a heavy viral load.”
