Around 100 venues are suitable to be used for the citywide Covid-19 testsMore than 3000 medical staff have signed up to help with universal Covid-19 tests and about 100 indoor venues are suitable to be used for tests, Civil Service Chief Patrick Nip Tak-kuen said. Nip said they have found about 100 indoor venues to carry out Covid-19 tests, including community centre, school and sports venue. Three Caritas Community Centre in Tsuen Wan, Ngau Tau Kok and Aberdeen have been selected by the government to be used for Covid-19 tests, Caritas Employee Union wrote on their Facebook page yesterday. Majority of the “front-line employees” of Caritas think the centre should not be used for Covid-19 tests, but most of the senior management agrees to rent the community centre to the government. The union wrote that employees think renting out the centre will affect their daily operation.
