Authorities mull rapid tests for students returning to school. Students may have to take rapid Covid tests every day or every other day as face-to-face classes resume after the coming Easter weekend, Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said. Authorities are considering to require students to undergo rapid tests before returning to school, but they have yet to decide whether the students should do the tests daily or every other day, she said. There are around some 200,000 kindergarten or primary school students aged 3 to 11 who are not yet vaccinated, accounting for about 30 percent of the age group. The government is expected to obtain all the information from voluntary rapid tests by Tuesday.
