The government will set up temporary sampling stations in "restricted areas" and require people to be tested before 10 pm today.
Those who are inspected will be arranged to undergo nucleic acid testing at the sampling station, and a combined throat and nasal swab will be collected by a designated person.
The tested persons must remain in the premises until all persons have test results to reduce the risk of cross-infection.
The government will arrange door-to-door sampling for people with reduced mobility.
If residents in the closed area have been diagnosed in the past 3 months and have reported it to the Department of Health, they do not need to be tested again.
In the "restricted area", if the current HKDSE candidates are required to take the HKDSE examination on the next day, or the examination staff must be responsible for the examination work for the HKDSE examination on the next day, the Government urges the relevant candidates or examination staff to take the HKDSE examination before 8:00 tonight. Go to the temporary sampling station set up in the "restricted area", identify the candidate or the test administrator and present the relevant documents, so that the quarantine personnel can give priority to the test.
This priority testing arrangement is also applicable to the family members living with the candidates and the examination staff, as well as the candidates and examination staff who have been identified as close contacts of confirmed cases and arranged for them to be quarantined.
According to the mandatory testing announcement issued today, apart from the above-mentioned specified persons, any person who has been in the above-mentioned building for more than 2 hours from May 1 to 7, 2022, even if the “relevant announcement” came into effect, was not in the “relevant inspection” In restricted areas”, they must also undergo mandatory testing on or before May 9, 2022.
As a mutated virus strain is involved, it is prudent that people who have been vaccinated and who have been tested recently are still required to be tested.
