There are currently 400 personnel for reference testing, but 200 more people are still needed
In order to achieve a daily inspection volume of 300,000 samples, the gas film laboratory needs to operate in three shifts for 24 hours. Liu Xing explained that the number of inspection personnel required for each shift is 200, so a total of 600 personnel are needed to handle the work.
The Government gazetted the "Medical Laboratory Technologists (Special Exemption) Regulations" to temporarily exempt the registration requirements of nationally accredited laboratory testers in Hong Kong. This has caused a lot of controversy. Who is responsible for problems in laboratory tests? In this regard, Liu Xing believes that the members of the "national team" have different actual combat experience and mainland certification, and all are elites. It is just that the systems in the mainland and Hong Kong are different and there is no problem in professionalism.
