Ho Pak-leung says his choice should not influence residentsInfectious diseases expert, Ho Pak-leung from the University of Hong Kong, said today his decision to not get tested for the coronavirus should not be seen as questioning the mainland team. Instead, he said, he doubts the effectiveness of the virus testing program. Ho said he doubts that the testing can achieve the goal of identifying invisible virus carriers. He emphasized that his decision was based on scientific reasons and that he does not oppose residents getting tested. Citizens should not consider his attitude in deciding whether to get tested for the coronavirus, Ho said.
