Full support provided to Restriction-testing Declaration (RTD) operation by
the Audit Commission

The Government conducts Restriction-testing Declaration (RTD) operations to find asymptomatic coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients as early as possible and to reduce the risk of spreading the virus in the community. Staff of all government bureaux/departments (B/Ds) including the Audit Commission (Audit) are mobilised to provide adequate manpower to coordinate and carry out the operations.

As arranged by the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau (FSTB), Audit led the coordination and implementation of an RTD operation in Tsui Mei House, Tsui Ping (North) Estate, Kwun Tong on 22 March 2022. A number of Audit officers comprising staff of Auditor, Examiner, Clerical and Secretarial, and Motor Driver grades joined hands with colleagues from the Treasury Branch of FSTB, the Government Logistics Department, the Government Property Agency, and the Rating and Valuation Department to carry out a series of anti-epidemic tasks.

Audit thanks all participating government staff and the testing agency for their hard work, and is also grateful to those subject to compulsory testing for their support and understanding.

With the full support of the Central People's Government and all walks of life in Hong Kong, as well as the unfailing efforts of all B/Ds, we will certainly win the battle against the epidemic and resume our normal daily life.
