Water quality at 17 beaches has been rated 'good' for this weekend by the Environmental Protection Department, with 16 'fair'.

Compared with last week, Kiu Tsui, Lower Cheung Sha, Shek O and Stanley Main Beaches have changed from good to fair, while Ma Wan Tung Wan Beach has upgraded from poor to fair.

Seven gazetted beaches - Anglers', Approach, Ting Kau, Casam, Gemini, Hoi Mei Wan and Lido - are closed to swimmers year-round because of poor water quality.
