Braving the latest outbreak

The fifth wave of the COVID-19 outbreak has affected family, friends and colleagues around us and put Hong Kong’s public healthcare system under immense pressure. The government has released a guide on how to choose Rapid Antigen Test kits and instructions under the “StayHomeSafe” scheme to avoid extreme outbreaks in the community and to sever transmission chains at the earliest.

Read the President's latest message on the Institute’s initiatives to support the profession and society at large. For information and messages from the Institute and other bodies that members may find helpful, stay tuned to the COVID-19 – CPA Information Centre on the Institute’s website.
