The Food & Environmental Hygiene Department today announced that free COVID-19 testing services for targeted groups will continue, with the online registration deadline for testing extended to March 31.
Voluntary testing will be arranged for high-exposure groups such as frontline staff of catering businesses, staff and personnel working in markets, licensed hawkers and cold store practitioners.
People in high-exposure groups who have already registered and undergone testing may register again.
Under the scheme, the testing agency, Prenetics, will provide one-stop services covering specimen taking and testing.
