China Companies to Handle Community-level COVID-19 Testing in Hong Kong, Chinese Officers Exempted from Registration in Hong Kong

Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced on Aug 7 that Beijing will support the launch of a community-level testing for the population in Hong Kong. Yet, no details have been confirmed. The test should be launched in two weeks, and three Chinese national-level testing organisations will handle the logistics. Lam admitted that without lockdown practices, the effectiveness of the test may be lower. She believed that there are around 1,500 patients in Hong Kong with high infection risk.

Regarding the legitimacy of Mainland Chinese officers in Hong Kong, Secretary for Food and Health Sophia Chan Siu-chee stressed that these officers were "qualified in China", and their “experiences and qualifications should not be doubted.” The government will publish on gazette with reference to Medical Laboratory Technologists (Special Exemptions) Regulation, stating that "these officers do not have to registered in Hong Kong with an effective period of 2 months".

Lam also announced that 1,000 more beds will be built in AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE), and a “Hong Kong Huoshenshan Hospital” will be constructed next to AWE, providing an extra 800-1,000 beds. The construction was estimated to take a few months to deal with the potential outbreak in winter.
