Last week, the government distributed "anti-epidemic service kits" to 3 million households in Hong Kong, including rapid test kits, KN95 masks and proprietary Chinese medicine Lianhua Qingwen capsules.
Recently, there are some online sales platforms that citizens suspected of splitting and reselling the anti-epidemic materials in the service package. Among them, the government distributed Wondfo rapid test kits with different packaging and retail, and the online price was about 8 yuan to 20 yuan a piece. Some are even advertised as "required for resumption of classes".
Some sellers admitted to reporters that the resale is what the government distributed for free.

Wondfo rapid test agent government distribution packaging is different from retail
The government distributed "anti-epidemic service kits" last week, including the Wonderfo rapid test kit. Unlike the carton packaging sold in the market, the government distributed it in plastic bags.
On the marketplaces of online trading platforms Carousell and Facebook, there have been a number of bags of Wonderfo test kits that are suspected to be distributed by the government. The prices generally range from RMB 8 to RMB 20 a piece. "Resumption of classes and panic buying" attracts netizens to buy.
In other words, the government can earn up to 400 yuan per package of 20 rapid test kits.
