Liang Zhuowei, Dean of the Li Ka-shing School of Medicine, University of Hong Kong,
said:
At present, 128,000 tests have been completed for national testing. Based on past virological and epidemiological data, and mathematical models, it is estimated that 8.5 patients may appear.
Relevant calculations and the Department of Health announced that the data of 6 positive cases are roughly consistent.
If 7.45 million people in Hong Kong take part in the test, it is estimated that there will be 494 positive results, which means that more than 480 positive cases may not be found.

However, from the literature of the University of Hong Kong or the United Kingdom, not all people who test positive are infectious.
According to the calculation and analysis of the University of Hong Kong, among the more than 400 unidentified positive cases, more than 280 are still infectious; 140 of them may cause second-generation transmission.
Liang Zhuowei believes that the most important thing for the national testing program is to find the 140 invisible patients who are infected with the virus and may be infectious.
Liang Xuhui pointed out that testing is not about running counts. To cut off the chain of transmission must be fast, and it is a race against the virus.
At present, 140 potential transmission chains have been calculated. It is not ruled out that extending the testing period will be helpful, but the cooperation of citizens is still needed to participate in testing at the nearest testing center as soon as possible.
