HONG KONG – Hong Kong will offer free coronavirus tests to its residents starting Sept. 1 as it grapples with its worst outbreak since the pandemic began, leader Carrie Lam said Friday.
The testing program, which will last up to two weeks, will allow every Hong Kong resident to be tested on a voluntary basis, she said.
“For the good of yourself and others, and for safeguarding public health, please take part in the scheme,” Lam said. “What we’re doing today is so that we can come off the epidemic as soon as possible, so that we can resume our economic activities.” (abcnews.go.com)
