The Secretary for Health, Sophia Chan Siu-chee, says she expects between four and five million Hong Kong residents to take up the opportunity of a freecoronavirus test. The testing could be concluded within two weeks, RTHK reports. She said the Information Technology Bureau was involved in designing a registration system for the testing project. The tests will be done with the support of experts from the mainland. It dismissed privacy concerns, saying testing staff would not know the identities of those who provided the samples.
