The Hong Kong government today began distributing anti-epidemic service kits, including multiple rapid test kits, to all households in Hong Kong.
Carrie Lam today called on the public to undergo rapid testing to let the Hong Kong government know the actual infection situation in Hong Kong.
Zhang Zhujun, director of the Infectious Diseases Division of the Center for Health Protection of the Department of Health, said that the authorities will have relevant publicity in the next few days to teach citizens how to use the rapid test kits, and the government will report the relevant details later.
When asked if he would recommend that people who have recovered from the new crown participate in the rapid nationwide test, Zhang Zhujun said that the rapid test will show a positive result when the virus load is high, and the cases found are all high virus load; but the nucleic acid test, even the virus load People with low levels will be shown as positive.
She pointed out that because the rapid test is different from the nucleic acid test, even if the recovered person receives the rapid test, there is little chance that the test result will turn "yin to positive" and the nucleic acid test will detect residual virus.
