HONG KONG -- With Hong Kong set to embark on a groundbreaking citywide coronavirus test to eradicate COVID-19 transmission in the city, medical experts say turnout will be key to the effectiveness of the scheme, which has raised concerns over the handling of citizens' DNA data.
The seven-day testing plan, scheduled to start on Tuesday, will allow the city of 7.5 million residents to conduct up to half a million coronavirus tests a day. Over a hundred testing centers will temporarily be set up across the territory, with the help of hundreds of medical and lab professionals from mainland China.
