Hong Kong: New mobile testing station set up
The Government has arranged for a testing agency to set up a mobile specimen collection station at the open area outside Fung Chak House in Choi Wan (II) Estate to provide COVID-19 testing services.
The station was set up after a government-sponsored study by the University of Hong Kong found that sewage samples from Fung Chak House constantly tested positive for the virus.
The station provides free testing services for the estate’s residents and workers.
It will tentatively run until December 31 and operate from 10am to 8pm from today.
Additionally, the mobile specimen collection station at the basketball court next to Ming Lai House at the estate will extend its services to December 31.
