The Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says their COVID-19 testing is based on the clinical details of a person which goes through a prioritization process to see which test turns around fast.

Doctor Fong highlighted when questioned if the Ministry is testing samples as soon as it arrives or prioritising based on the increase in number of cases of unknown links.
