The Government announced that the compulsory testing exercise and enforcement operation for the North Point restricted area ended today with no confirmed COVID-19 cases found.   It made a restriction-testing declaration last night, requiring people living at Two Island Place, 55 Tanner Road to stay in their premises and undergo compulsory testing. As at 2am today, about 710 residents were tested.   In the subsequent enforcement operation, about 400 people’s test records were checked and no one was found to have not undergone mandatory testing.   Government staff also visited about 265 households in the restricted area, of which 30 did not answer the door.
