As more Hongkongers are switching to ordering food online and e-shopping amid the pandemic, concerns about the spread of virus through courser services have heightened.
In response, the Food & Health Bureau announced Sunday that the Government will provide a one-off free COVID-19 test to all delivery workers, including takeaway food couriers from January 19 to 31 via online booking.
Couriers need to make a booking for the free testing service via the community testing centre booking system, otherwise, the test will cost HK$240.
When they arrive at the community testing centre, couriers should present the identity document used for the booking and the SMS booking confirmation for verification, the government said.
