The Government reminded members of the public that the nucleic acid testing requirement for public hospitals, residential care homes for the elderly and residential care homes for persons with disabilities will be replaced by rapid antigen tests starting from March 1. Following the complete lifting of compulsory nucleic acid testing requirements, free nucleic acid testing service in the community testing network will cease accordingly from the same day onwards. A total of 21 community testing centres and community testing stations will be retained for provision of self-paid nucleic acid testing service to members of the public from 10am to 8pm daily (closed from 1.30pm to 2pm/2.30pm for deep cleaning and disinfection).
