Zhu Weilin, vice-chairman of the New Territories Principals Association and principal of Fengxi No. 1 Primary School, said that the 48-hour nucleic acid testing requirement has brought troubles to cross-border students, because many cross-border students travel point-to-point, which is difficult to test in Hong Kong, and testing stations in the mainland are also in trouble. Reduced, it is not easy to test in the mainland, so I hope that the quick test can be replaced: "𠵱The request is to be tested once every other day. The Hong Kong academic circle is actually used to doing the quick test. I believe that cross-border students will have no problems. I hope there will be news before the Lunar New Year holiday.
