Hong Kong and the mainland will implement the first phase of customs clearance the day after tomorrow (8th). According to regulations, both northbound and southbound travelers must hold a negative nucleic acid certificate within 48 hours.
Huang Libao, director of the Hong Kong Center for Molecular Pathology Testing, said that based on the 60,000 one-way customs clearance quota per day in the first phase, each local operator only needs to process an additional 4,000 nucleic acid tests per day, and he believes that he has the ability to handle it.
Huang Libao pointed out that there are currently 85 testing centers in Hong Kong, operated by 14 operators, and can handle more than 100,000 nucleic acid tests per day.
The customs clearance arrangements will be further relaxed in the future. He pointed out that if the current practice of passing the customs with nucleic acid physical certificates can be changed to electronic certificates, and after reducing the testing workflow, it is believed that the daily testing capacity can be increased to 200,000.
Huang Libao accepted a radio interview this morning (6th), saying that during the peak period of the epidemic in Hong Kong, not only 100,000 nucleic acid tests were performed every day, but in addition to the operators, there were also private hospitals and laboratories that could do the tests.
He believes that after customs clearance, the greatest pressure is to issue a large number of physical reports. He suggested that the test results be automatically uploaded to the designated system in a form similar to the "Health Code".
