the third wave- All hotels will offer COVID-19 tests for just HK$785
HONG KONG, July 22, 2020 - (ACN Newswire) - As part of Dorsett Hospitality International's ongoing commitment to the
local community under #DorsettCares, the Hong Kong-based hospitality group is the first hotel group to partner with
leading global genetic testing and digital health company Prenetics to offer the local community, associates and hotels
guests in Hong Kong a peace of mind with 24/7 access to the Project Screen by Circle COVID-19 test, recommended by the
World Health Organisation and officially recognised by the Hong Kong government, as we collectively fight to contain the
city's third wave.
Hong Kong-based Prenetics is one of three laboratories who have been assigned by the government to help with mass
community testing. Their 'Do-It-Yourself' test kit has an analytical accuracy of 99.9% based on validated studies by the
National Health Commission and the US FDA. They also provide all the testing for the English Premier League and have
carried out over 40,000 COVID-19 tests for players and coaches without which the season would not have resumed. The
largest private laboratory in Hong Kong, Prenetics have boosted its capacity up from 5,580 to 22,000 tests in Hong Kong
per day.
Dorsett has test kits available for purchase at its 9 hotels in Hong Kong for only HK$785 with results available within
just one to two business days. Furthermore, the hotel group will be sponsoring over 50% off of each COVID-19 test for
all their associates and in some instances, full sponsorships of COVID-19 test kits should testing be required from any
hotel staff to ensure we continue to do everything we can to make our employees feel safe.
Since the first outbreak back in February, all nine of Dorsett Hospitality International's hotels in Hong Kong - and
worldwide - have implemented preventive and anti-epidemic control measures, including use of hospital-grade Ecolab
disinfectant cleaner 2.0, increased cleaning and disinfection frequency of public areas and facilities every hour and
temperature screening for those coming in and out of the hotels.
To date, Dorsett Hospitality International has provided accommodation for healthcare workers and frontliners in London,
Hong Kong and China and donated supplies used in hospitals and quarantine centres in Malaysia. We will continue to
support the communities in each city where we have a presence as part of our #DorsettCares' commitment to our esteemed
