China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on Wednesday reported two new cases of COVID-19, bringing the total number of infections in the region to 5,310, Hong Kong's Center for Health Protection (CHP) said.

The CHP has called on all residents to avoid non-essential travel outside the HKSAR.

The two-week trial aims to assess the sensitivity and reliability of RT-LAMP technology.
