The government announced on Friday that the existing five Covid-19 community testing centres and community testing stations (CTC/CTSs) will completely cease operation starting from next Saturday as testing demand has dropped to a very low level recently.
"Covid-19 is now being managed as an upper respiratory tract illness. The government's decision to completely cease the operation of CTC/CTSs ties in with the latest epidemic development and the principle of risk management," a government spokesman said.
The five facilities will revert to their original community and recreational uses and another 80 community and recreational sites released earlier have been returned to the venue managers.
For citizens who need to conduct nucleic acid testing, they may make their own arrangements at local nucleic acid testing institutions.
