The outbreak of new pneumonia in Hong Kong has rebounded and there have been local cases for several consecutive days. Yuan Guoyong, a professor in the Department of Microbiology at the University of Hong Kong, attended the TV show "Speaking and Speaking" and said that the current virus detection in Hong Kong is not as good as that in the Mainland. It is a pity that the virus screening has not been carried out in the past 5 months.

Yuan Guoyong, a lecturer at the Department of Microbiology of the University of Hong Kong, said on the TV show "Speak Clearly" that Hong Kong is currently inferior to the mainland in virus detection and he has been unable to conduct large-scale screening in the past 5 months. He feels very sorry. (Show screenshot)

Yuan Guoyong pointed out that the daily test volume in Hong Kong is only 4 to 5000 per day, and its ability is far less than that of the mainland. It has been a pity that it has not been able to achieve large-scale screening in the past 5 months. He said that in the United States, South Korea and the Mainland, even people with mild symptoms can obtain a sample bottle without a doctor and undergo a deep throat saliva test. However, people with mild symptoms or epidemiological contacts in Hong Kong still need to make an appointment to get a test through a doctor.

Yuan Guoyong continued that the cost of virus detection in Hong Kong is high and it is difficult to conduct large-scale screening. As for why the authorities have not cooperated with the mainland so far, he is not clear. He reminded everyone to still pay attention to hand and mouth hygiene at this stage, and make sure not to form a chain of communication when dining in restaurants.
