Hong Kong | Hong Kong residents braced for a citywide lockdown, emptying supermarkets and pharmacies on Tuesday, even as chief executive Carrie Lam called for calm and appealed for the public not to worry over a compulsory mass COVID-19 testing plan.
Mass testing for the city’s 7.4 million residents is set to take place over nine days starting in the second half of March, the South China Morning Post reported, citing an unidentified source.
