Repeated Covid-19 tests just ploy to force us to get jab, Hong Kong helpers say

May 12, 2021 Domestic helpers gather in Central on their day off on Sunday. South China Morning Post Hong Kong s domestic workers say the government is unfairly forcing them to take a Covid-19 vaccine or else face the risk of undergoing repeated mandatory testing after authorities suddenly ordered them to be screened again. Although Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet Ngor revealed on Tuesday (May 11) she was dropping her plan to require that the city s roughly 370,000 helpers be inoculated, she said they must be tested for a second time by the end of the month, despite a first round uncovering just three coronavirus cases.

Authorities have embarked on mass mandatory testing of the city’s 370,000 domestic workers after a more infectious strain was detected in the community, and flagged plans for compulsory vaccinations. Under the measures, workers would need to be vaccinated before their contracts could be renewed, and any incoming worker would be required to have the vaccination to enter Hong Kong.

Indonesia’s self-taught dental workers say they fill a need in society – just not in Hong Kong Muhammad Tohir’s dental shop in central Jakarta, Indonesia. Photo: SCMP/Resty Woro Yuniar When four Indonesian domestic workers in Hong Kong were arrested last month for breaching the conditions of their stay and offering dental services despite having no training, it caused a stir. The four had rented a room on their days off to offer treatments such as scaling, trimming, fillings and braces - charging between HK$200 and HK$2,000 - to fellow Indonesians. In comments to the media, a Hong Kong Immigration Department spokesman said practising dentistry without registration was a threat to health and safety, in a time of Covid-19.
