     The Home Affairs Department (HAD) today (August 7) successively extended the scope of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Community Testing Scheme, which includes the Shan King Estate in Tuen Mun District. 

     Making reference to the Tsz Wan Shan Testing Scheme, the original proposal of the testing scheme in Shan King Estate was to use the public area on the ground floor of each building to distribute throat-swab sampling kits and registration forms; and collect specimens for testing to facilitate the residents. However, the owners' corporation of Shan King Estate and the property management company hired by the owners' corporation adopt an uncooperative stance and have yet to agree to lend the public space for the Scheme. Therefore, the Tuen Mun District Office (TMDO) is unable to distribute and collect sampling kits in the public area on the ground floor of each block in the estate. The HAD expresses deep regret over this act.
      
     In view of the situation, the TMDO has contacted the Taoist Ching Chung Primary School in Shan King Estate and is grateful for their co-operation by lending the covered playground to the TMDO to distribute the sampling kits. The collection point of specimens is located at Shan King Community Hall.
