The deadline for the second mandatory test for foreign domestic helpers expired today (30th). Dozens of foreign domestic helpers rushed to the test station in Victoria Park, Causeway Bay to take samples.
The flow of people at the inspection station is relatively quiet compared to the previous day. Some foreign domestic helpers said that the last inspection together with the queuing time took about 4 hours and that there is no need to queue today.
Some foreign domestic helpers have been vaccinated against the new crown; others are still holding a wait-and-see attitude, worrying about the death of foreign domestic helpers after being vaccinated recently.

After risk assessment and considering that foreign domestic helpers need to take care of the elderly and children, the government believes that in response to group cases involving the N501Y mutant virus strain, requiring foreign domestic helpers to undergo a second compulsory test is more insurable.
Today is the last day of the second inspection of foreign domestic helpers. The reporter visited the inspection station in Victoria Park at 10 a.m. There was not a lot of people at the scene. About 30 foreign domestic helpers lined up. The dragon has been digested, and the foreign domestic helper can directly test it afterwards, without having to line up.

Last time we queued for 4 hours, we directly sampled foreign domestic helpers worry about vaccination accidents today
Indian domestic helper Tri Andari pointed out that a lot of people queued up for the last test. She arrived at the test station at 8 a.m. that day, and took samples at 12 noon, which took about 4 hours.
Today, she came to the testing station in Victoria Park and found that she could test directly without queuing.
"I'm happy, don't make the queue." Tri Andari is also quite satisfied with the arrangement. She believes that the test can protect her health, and she has also been vaccinated with Fubitel under the arrangement of her employer.
Tutiani Poiman, also from Indonesia, came to the testing station at 9:30 this morning. She said that a few weeks ago, she was tested on working days. At that time, she queued for about 20 minutes to take samples. Therefore, she came to the line early today, saying "It’s amazing to many people. It’s time to finish well soon!" When asked if she would be vaccinated, Tutiani Poiman said that the employer did not ask for it, so she was still watching and frankly worried about someone dying after being vaccinated. "See People who walked were shocked."
Regarding the Hong Kong government's earlier proposal to renew the contract for injections by foreign domestic helpers, she stated that she would still be vaccinated if the government requested.

Domestic helpers thank the government for arranging mandatory testing
Loisa, an Indian domestic helper, is quite satisfied with the government's arrangement of mandatory testing for foreign domestic workers. She said: "Testing can tell the health of the system. It doesn't make you worry too much. You can know more." She also pointed out that she would go to church on holidays. Changing to testing did not delay too much time.
In view of the large number of people in the last test, which took 1.5 hours to queue up, Loisa specially waited until the last day of the second test to take samples. She thought it would be "few people, don't have to wait." For the overall inspection arrangement, she said with a smile: "Don't worry. The line is the best, the line is so hot!"
