Staff in residential care homes need to do nucleic acid tests every other day from next Wednesday (August 31). In a TV program, Sun told the public that more than 40 percent of the cases of Covid confirmed staff in care homes were identified through PCR tests. More than 70 care homes reported Covid confirmed cases in the past seven days. "We will inform the results of the test as soon as possible to care homes for their normal operation," Sun said. Grace Li Fai, chief executive officer of the elderly commission, showed concern about the capability of care homes to conduct PCR tests as frequently as once every two days.
