Hong Kong's government says 500,000 people have already signed up for its free universal coronavirus testing program, which is due to launch on Tuesday.

A team of medical staff from China will lead the screening, and three mainland-based laboratories will process the results, leading many to fear that genetic data collected could be used for other purposes.
Al Jazeera’s Sarah Clarke reports from Hong Kong.
