Mass COVID-19 testing = DNA database
Although Prenetics was founded in Hong Kong, it has received 40 million USD in capital investment from Chinese companies like Alibaba. The company specialises in Circle DNA technology* and provides genetic testing services. A drop of saliva is enough to detect DNA using their test kit. Their advertisement with Watson's even claimed that a single drop of saliva could be used for more than 500 tests. The COVID-19 testing that you see people lining up for on TV are the ones using their Circle DNA technology.
According to a 2017 report by the Wall Street Journal, law enforcement agencies in some parts of China have already collected their citizens DNA information along with other biometric data, including fingerprints, facial features and voice signatures. They connected these to people's daily activities (e.g. online purchases, entertainment habits) to facilitate surveillance by public security and to successfully solve crimes.
According to a 2019 report by XG01 [recte HK01], the US police used DNA to solve a crime. [HK01] made a diagram explaining how DNA samples aided the police in solving the case, so we could better understand the process.
Editor's Note:
* The original writer mistook Circle DNA for a type of technology. It is a product offered by Prenetics that uses whole exome sequencing technology.

【大規模檢測 = DNA數據庫？】
中共將會派人黎香港進行大型檢測，雖則以防疫為由，但司馬昭之心路人皆知。
我地見坊間有人提醒市民應該盡快進行檢測，避免被採集DNA。但唔好意思，依家政府所提供嘅「一站式」檢測服務已經足以採集大家嘅DNA。
係7月17日，食環署委派咗一間叫Prenetics嘅生物科技公司，提供「一站式」檢測服務。
雖然Prenetics創於香港，但獲阿里巴巴等紅資投資足足4000萬USD。佢地主打圓基因技術（Circle DNA），提供基因檢測服務。用佢地提供嘅檢測套裝，一滴口水…
