28 April 2022, Hong Kong — The Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre (LSCM) has collaborated with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) to conduct researches on the forecast of the development of COVID-19 in Hong Kong, aiming to foster the social and economic recovery. The two researches were conducted by the teams led by Professor CHEN Wu, Head of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics of PolyU, and Professor John W.Z. SHI, Director of PolyU-Shenzhen Technology and Innovation Research Institute (Futian) respectively. The results indicate that it is necessary to maintain a certain level of social distancing measures at the moment, while the reopening of the border is expected to bring a slim chance of a sharp pandemic rebound. It is also recommended the Compulsory Universal Testing to be carried out on a district-by-district basis, from the districts with the highest predicted COVID-19 onset risk to those with the lowest, and completed within 8 days to reduce the impact on the daily life of the public.
