The city is in the throes of its worst-ever COVID-19 wave, registering thousands of cases every day, overwhelming hospitals and government efforts to isolate infected people.
The outbreak - fuelled by the extremely transmissible Omicron variant - has also breached the city's prisons, where more than 7,200 people are currently detained.
As of Thursday, there were 202 confirmed infections and 135 preliminary positive prisoners within the system - a caseload that has grown by more than 20 times in about a week.
"It is anticipated that more cases of infection will be found in the coming week," corrections officials said, adding that clusters had been detected among its staff.
Visits have been suspended since the beginning of February, while one correctional facility was converted to isolate infected prisoners.
In recent years, newcomers to Hong Kong's prison system have included many of the city's most prominent democracy activists, ensnared in the wake of 2019's massive and at times violent democracy protests.
