[15:51] In the fifth wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong, more than 1.19 million people were diagnosed, but it is difficult for the public to know the level of antibodies in their bodies.

The research team of the Department of Applied Physics of the Polytechnic University used organic electrochemical transistor technology (OECT) to develop an ultra-sensitive portable new coronavirus antibody detector.

Different from the current antibody test which takes about two days, the tester developed by PolyU only needs to drop a small drop of saliva sample on the chip of the tester to allow the antibody to react with the antigen. The entire test process takes less than six minutes. The cost of the test is only about 10 yuan.

The Department of Health pointed out that there is still a risk of the new crown epidemic in summer. Chen Zhaoshi: The risk of monkeypox in Hong Kong is not high

He also said that the Case Tracking Office of the Centre for Health Protection had restarted all case tracking in May, and at least ten clusters of infections have been identified so far.

Cathay Pacific invites departed flight attendants to return to the nest to cooperate with the return of more flights

[01:04] The new crown epidemic hit the aviation industry, and Cathay Pacific experienced a wave of layoffs and departures during the epidemic.

With the slowdown of the epidemic and the customs clearance of many countries, Cathay Pacific recently sent emails to flight attendants who have left their jobs, inviting them to apply to return to their nests and fly to the sky again.

Cathay Pacific said the government's relaxation of entry quarantine will increase the number of passengers travelling to and from Hong Kong and other places, so "it is time to start rebuilding our team".
