Hong Kong will require all school students to take regular rapid antigen tests after in-person classes resume later this month, as the city gradually relaxes some of the world’s toughest Covid control measures.
Officials are still ironing out details such as how frequent the tests should be conducted and how many positive cases would warrant a school suspension, Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung said on Radio Television Hong Kong on Saturday. The class-resumption plan will be finalized next week, Yeung said.
