Among 28 false-positive samples of BGI, 27 were confirmed to be negative, 78 were innocently quarantined
[19:12] BGI's genes were suspected to have made a mistake, causing 28 samples to be contaminated and "false positives" appeared.
The Centre for Health Protection confirmed today (23rd) that among the 28 "false positives", 27 were all negative after admission. If in the end they have two negative samples and negative antibody results, they will be discharged from the hospital. All of the 78 close contacts can leave the quarantine center.
As for the two women who returned to Hong Kong from the Mainland and were listed as being diagnosed recently, the center said that they have not been able to determine whether their samples were also contaminated in the BGI laboratory. They need to discuss with experts before deciding whether they will be diagnosed. Excluded from the list.
The industry analyzes why the BGI gene went wrong: Suspicion caused mistakes and advocated the establishment of review procedures

It is suspected that 2 positive samples were contaminated by the negligence of a staff member and the other 28 sample.
Some people in the laboratory industry pointed out that when the epidemic was not serious, 30 samples were suddenly found to be positive on the same day. This is a rare situation. Generally speaking, laboratories should review the results one more time to confirm that the results are true before submitting them to the government. Questioning why BGI does not have a review procedure, "It may be that it was too rushed and there was negligence."

Huada Gene has repeatedly made mistakes and the government threatens to punish it according to the contract. News: The contract does not clearly specify the penalties
[16:19] The BGI gene made a mistake again. It was suspected of negligence to cause the positive samples of the new crown pneumonia virus to contaminate other samples. As a result, 28 samples were "false positive".
The government said yesterday that it would consider disciplinary actions based on the severity of the incident in accordance with the terms of the relevant service contract.
However, a person familiar with the matter disclosed that the contract between the government and the private contractor did not clearly specify the corresponding penalties under different circumstances.
Looking through the data, it was found that BGI has undertaken 7 community testing centers at present, and is the contractor that operates the most community testing centers.
Some people in the industry said that BGI originally had a large market share, and about one-third of the testing volume was in charge of BGI. However, in recent months, the "rising star" has gradually grown and BGI’s share has decreased. I believe that even if the government terminates the contract with BGI, Other laboratories are able to afford the amount of testing, but once the epidemic becomes serious and multiple people are tested, it may not be able to bear the burden.

Xu Shuchang believes that it is up to the Department of Health to decide whether to suspend BGI's testing work.
