The government on Friday announced that residents of the fire-ravaged blocks at Wang Fuk Court could head home for the second time in batches between May 21 and 29 to retrieve their personal belongings.

Wang Yan, Wang Sun and Wang Tai blocks will open first from May 21 to 23, followed by Wang Kin House and Wan Cheong House between May 24 and 26.

Residents of Wang Tao and Wang Shing blocks will be the last batch to go home again from May 27 to 29.

Similar to the previous round, a maximum of four people can stay for up to three hours inside their units during their designated time slots and make multiple trips.

Authorities earlier said that residents at the only block not affected by the fire, Wang Chi House, will have another chance to go home again between May 13 and 17.
