The authorities reminded that when using the rapid antigen test kit, one should pay attention to and follow the manufacturer's instructions, perform the test correctly and read the result, and should take pictures immediately after reading the result for record.
Hands must be cleaned before and after the test, and unnecessary items should be placed in the sample collection area as little as possible.
After testing, all components of the test kit need to be carefully wrapped and sealed, and disposed of properly.
If the home environment is contaminated during sample collection, it should be disinfected with 1:49 diluted household bleach or 70% alcohol.
In addition, people who have obtained a positive result for the first time with a rapid antigen test can report through the online platform of the "2019 Coronavirus Rapid Antigen Test Positive Result Reporting System".
If citizens have difficulty using the online platform, they can call 183 6119 to register their identity documents and phone numbers through the automated system.
