Central and Western District Office distributes rapid test kits to Central and Western district residents in need

In view of the suspected existence of silent transmission chains in the community, the Government appeals to persons with infection risks to undergo voluntary testing as soon as possible. In late January, the Central and Western District Office distributed 3,900 COVID-19 rapid test kits in Central & Western Home Affairs Enquiry Centre to Central and Western district residents in need and urge them to take the test by themselves, for effective and early identification of whether they have been infected, so as to better protect infected persons and their families.
