Police have arrested a doctor and three clinic workers after patients were allegedly given exemption certificates for Covid-19 jabs without having a medical consultation.
Officers said they took action on Tuesday after receiving complaints regarding a clinic in Yau Ma Tei.
Around 200 exemption certificates were seized, as well as almost HK$2 million in cash.
The force said it believes people were paying between HK$4,000 and HK$5,000 for the certificates, which enable people to enter premises covered by the government's vaccine pass scheme even if they haven't been jabbed against Covid.
