Construction Industry COVID-19 Testing Service Scheme (CITS)

Background:

As a further step to fight against the pandemic, the Construction Industry Council (CIC) and the Hong Kong Construction Association (HKCA) jointly launched the first phase of “Construction Industry COVID-19 Testing Service Scheme” (Scheme) on 22 December 2020 with the support from the Development Bureau of the HKSAR Government to provide the nucleic acid COVID-19 testing services to frontline workers and site staff who voluntarily joined the Scheme, with a view to saving time and resources to collect and return the specimen, facilitating mass testing. The second phase was launched immediately afterwards. The CIC and the HKCA share part of the service expenses in both phases, whilst the Government further provides subsidies to the successful applications from private works projects, which means developers for both public and private works projects / main contractors are not required to pay any testing fee for participating workers and site staff in the second phase of the Scheme. All on-site testing services were completed. To provide assistance to the industry, the CIC and HKCA launched the "Construction Industry COVID-19 Testing Service Scheme 3.0” with the support from the Development Bureau, and offered a free COVID-19 deep throat saliva specimen testing service from 1 May. The additional one-off distribution and collection service for deep throat saliva specimen collection packs was arranged for workers of approximately 1,350 construction sites and other resident site personnel.
