Another over 160 members of the mainland nucleic acid testing team arrived in Hong Kong Friday for the Universal Community Testing Program (UCT Program) that starts on Sept. 1. Amid a resurgence of the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus), the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government has sought assistance from the central government to contain the epidemic. The first batch of 60 virus testing professionals from Guangdong Province arrived in Hong Kong earlier to participate in the preparatory work for the UCT Program. The National Health Commission said it will coordinate about 600 members in total to aid the large-scale COVID-19 testing in Hong Kong based on actual needs.
