The government on Tuesday ordered everyone who works at the Hong Kong airport to undergo a mandatory coronavirus test to minimise the risk of imported infections from spreading into the SAR.
Authorities said 70,000 workers will have three weeks from Thursday to take a test if they are to work in the airport next month.
They can go to four designated testing stations in the airport or other community testing centres to get nasal and throat swab tests.
Starting next month, 2,000 frontline airport staff considered to be at high risk will be tested regularly on a voluntary basis.
They include those who carry out quarantine procedures, handle cold chain logistics or clean aircraft cabins.
