Hong Kong has announced plans to roll out compulsory COVID-19 testing from next month, with each of the densely-populated territory’s 7.4 million residents required to submit to three rounds of tests.
Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced the testing regime at a briefing on Tuesday as she announced a stringent set of new restrictions to tackle a record surge in coronavirus cases that have left hospitals overwhelmed and patients left to wait outside on the street.
