The government issued a press release last night (25th) announcing a major adjustment to the testing strategy, including the cancellation of the announcement on mandatory testing in high-risk areas, and the distribution of rapid testing kits to the public. In recognition of the rapid test results, citizens who test positive for the rapid test can register online for the authorities to follow up. The registration website will be announced later.
DAB Legislative Council member Lau Kwok-hsun criticized the government's hasty arrangements. Many citizens failed to grasp the new policy immediately, thinking that they would be subject to forced inspections, and went to the closed sampling stations to harass the residents.
He believes that when the government recognizes the rapid test results, it should not at the same time overturn the original practice.
Liu Guoxun said that many employees of the mobile sampling station contractor were informed that the sampling station was closed on the same day after they went to work, which shows that the government's decision came suddenly, and even the employees did not know.
He believes that the government has made significant changes to its existing policies and should explain it to the public in a more open and clear way, such as holding a press conference by relevant officials.
He demanded that any anti-epidemic information and policies released by the government in the future should be made more open and explained as soon as possible, so that the public can understand.

He believes that when the government recognizes the rapid test results, it should not overthrow the original practice.
He went on to point out that although rapid self-testing has become popular, the elderly may not be able to use the rapid test by themselves, and if the rapid test is positive, the elderly may not know how to register online.
