Last night, there were long queues at many testing centers in Tuen Mun, and it was still necessary to wait until late at night after the dragon was cut off at 10 pm.

Zhao Yantao, who is mainly responsible for the testing center contractor Xiangda Biotechnology in Yuen Long and Tuen Mun districts, said that more than 15,000 tests were obtained in Tuen Mun yesterday, and about 6,000 test samples were collected from Siu Lun and Kin Sang Community Hall.

Zhao Yantao pointed out that the number of nurses in each testing center has tripled to 40 today, and it is expected that they will still have to work overtime today, but the testing capacity is currently close to saturation.

He admitted that there are restrictions on sampling sites. For example, the Youai Gymnasium can only accommodate up to 10 sampling stations. Other centers cannot arrange for more sampling sites due to the size of the site and the safety distance. "Manpower is not the biggest problem, but the biggest problem. Depending on the venue, it will limit how fast we can do it.”

He said that the laboratory is limited to about 20,000 test samples per day, and it is estimated that there may be a delay of several hours in reporting the results.

It is also expected that tonight may be said to work overtime until late at night, but all efforts will be made to ensure that all people in line today can complete it.

In addition, various community centres have also added security staff to call on the public to observe social distancing.
