The Government has reminded the public that anyone who's aged six or more, and who's come to Hong Kong on or after December 2 and has completed their 14-day quarantine, that they need follow-up tests 19 or 20 days after their arrival.

For example, people arriving on December 2 should go to a community testing centre on December 20 or 21 for testing.

It said they must also keep the SMS notification containing the test result, in case police need to check it.

It said that people who fail to comply may be fined $5,000 and will receive a compulsory testing order.

If they fail to comply with this order, they'll be liable for a $25,000 fine and six months' imprisonment.
