Long hours spent tracking down recusant, the only person in the whole city to shun the free test, and persuading him to agree finally bring a result.
NAT
Anyone who may have come into contact with Delta variant family should get NAT at once, following results of Health Bureau’s investigations.
Over-60s encouraged to take advantage of free walk-in jabs at any of the city’s 18 vaccination stations.
Travellers advised to avoid high-risk areas for a fortnight after getting vaccinated.
Risk recedes, but nearly 60 per cent of the population has yet to be vaccinated; 200,000 more Sinopharm doses expected to arrive tomorrow.
Mandatory testing likely for the handful of uncooperative residents, following the resounding success of last week’s citywide Covid-19 prevention drive.
Police will hunt down anyone refusing to take NAT, who could then be placed in mandatory quarantine.
Future testing will depend on Delta variant’s development and the situation across the border; so far, 683,000 either tested or registered for NATs.
Health authorities praise emergency assistance from Guangdong, urge anyone who may not have been tested to do so as soon as possible.
