District Councillors: Universal COVID-19 Test is a tool for mass surveillance and suppression
The Hong Kong SAR Government announced that the voluntary universal COVID-19 Test will take place starting from 1 September, 2020. Many Hong Kong Citizens have been worried that their personal information might be collected and sent to China. Pro-democracy district councillors have been opposing this plan of the government.
In a street both held on 21 August, Tsuen Wan district councillor Roy Tam Hoi-pong, of New Democrats, pointed out that the Hong Kong government has appointed a China owned company, Sunrise Diagnostics Center (#SCD), for running the test. As a Chinese company, they are not qualified for Hong Kong standard and they do not have a valid license to handle the COVID-19 testing. Tam said the government's intention is to achieve its political agenda in the name of “public health concern”.
Tsuen Wan district councillor, Roy Pun Long-Chung, also stated that the government has borrowed several Caritas Community Centers as temporary testing centers. Many community centers are equipped with an elderly home. He worried that this would increase the infection risk of the elderly, “the Government has completely ignored their lives.” Pun has received many residents’ complaints and was told that many employers has requested their employees to provide COVID-test result before going to the work.
Sai Kung district councillor Gary Fan Kwok-wai criticised the government for failing to put public health as the first priority. Instead, the authorities has postponed the LegCo election and suppressed civilians' rights in the name of pandemic prevention. He described the universal COVID-19 test is a needle in a haystack. The test is not an effective pandemic prevention measure due to its high cost and low efficiency. Moreover, civilians worry that the government may collect and send their DNA sample to China.
Moreover, the “Health Code” might be transformed into a “social credit system” as in China for mass surveillance and further suppression of rights.
Fan said, “China has set many bad examples. With a health code, the code of a healthy reporter changed to yellow and red. (In the health code, yellow means medium risk and red means high risk.) Thus, he couldn’t go anywhere or get onto any transportation. The hotel became his prison.” He called for civilians to boycott the universal testing scheme.
Jeff Au, Strategy Director of the think tank Community Development Initiative (#CDI), said that the current privacy ordinance doesn’t include DNA and biometrics data and Privacy Commission for Personal Data Hong Kong should extend the ordinance to cover these areas. He has recommended the establishment of an independent committee to monitor the testing procedure, technology management and laboratory operation.

HK Government to Use At Least 3 Caritas Community Centers as COVID-19 Test Center Without Consulting Staff, Residents and District Council
[Editor's note: As of 24 August, the government's requisition of the Ngau Tau Kok Caritas Center has been suspended.]
On 22 August, 2020, the Caritas Employee Union revealed on Facebook that the HKSAR government will use three Caritas Community Centers located in Tsuen Wan, Nagau Tai Kok and Aberdeen for 14 days to collect COVID19 test samples. The centre will open for 12 hours for civilians to submit samples.
According to the Caritas Employee Union, besides the senior management, most of the frontline employees and some middle management staff objected this arrangement.
The Union told Kwun Tong Community News that employees only received the notification of the arrangement on 21 August but without any details of the plan and relevant pandemic prevention measures. The government took less than 24 hours to go from
site inspection to requisition. The employees found it a rash decision.
In particular, the Ngau Tau Kok Caritas Community Center located at On Tak Road is nearby the residential area and the Ngau Tai Kok market. Residents worried that a community outbreak of COVID19 could be caused in the neighborhood.
Ngau Tai Kok district councillor Li Wing Shan wrote on her Facebook page, condemning the government for not consulting the residents, market stall owners and district councillors about the arrangement. She pointed out that the government's use of these facilities is affecting the livelihood of the residents, “District councillors in Kwun Tong receive a lot of requests every day and refer many cases to the Caritas Community Center as a follow-up. If the Caritas Community Center is used for other purpose, its original daily operation may be affected. It will cause an impact to the community.”

#JoshuaWong Pestered by 6 People in a Car Reportedly Owned by Police
Former Secretary-General of DemosistĹŤ Joshua Wong stated on his social media account that he had been pestered by six individuals at Victoria Peak Garden on the afternoon of August 23.
Wong later discovered that the owner of the car was registered to live at Shun Lee Disciplined Services Quarters, which made him suspect that the owner was a police officer.
Wong stated that after looking through security footages, he found that a woman had waited at the site before he arrived, and that she started filming as soon as he arrived at the park. When he was arguing with the people who pestered him, his friend heard the woman calling for others to come to the park. Later more people arrived by car and shouted insults at him.
