Recently, the fifth round of epidemic broke out in Hong Kong, and the situation of prevention and control is becoming increasingly severe. It is urgent to improve the capacity of nucleic acid detection.
The reporter learned on the 12th that a number of testing institutions in Guangdong have gone to support. Among them, Guangzhou Kingmed Diagnostics Group Co.Ltd(603882) has sent an inspection team composed of 35 people to Hong Kong. At present, the daily nucleic acid detection capacity of Guangzhou Kingmed Diagnostics Group Co.Ltd(603882) in Hong Kong has increased from 36000 to 70000; Bgi Genomics Co.Ltd(300676) is speeding up the restart of the “fire eye laboratory” of 16 cabin China atmospheric membrane, which is expected to be opened on February 15.
According to reports, on January 24, the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) sent two inspectors to Hong Kong on January 27 with the approval of the relevant departments of the Guangdong provincial government, and then sent 14 inspectors to Hong Kong in batches before the Spring Festival. With the strength of its Hong Kong Jinyu laboratory, at present, Guangzhou Kingmed Diagnostics Group Co.Ltd(603882) has more than 60 inspectors in Hong Kong, The daily nucleic acid detection capacity was also increased from 36000 to 70000.
From January 1 to February 7, Hong Kong Jinyu has undertaken the tasks of Hong Kong Hospital Authority, Department of health, International Airport, compulsory quarantine Hotel, multiple community testing centers, more than 20 mobile sampling points and emergency testing in enclosed areas.
“We will, as always, fully support Hong Kong’s anti epidemic work, especially increase the detection volume to match the detection strategy of the SAR government and stop the spread of the virus in the community as soon as possible, so as to better control this wave of epidemic.” Yan Ting, President of Guangzhou Kingmed Diagnostics Group Co.Ltd(603882) said that in view of the continuous increase in the number of confirmed cases in Hong Kong, in order to further cooperate with the SAR government to improve the nucleic acid detection capacity, according to the needs of local epidemic prevention and control in Hong Kong, Jinyu is organizing the deployment of additional detection personnel and equipment to Hong Kong, hoping to expand the production capacity to 200000 people per day.
As the scientific and technological card of China’s anti epidemic, the “fire eye laboratory”, which can realize flexible site selection, rapid transportation and rapid construction, will also be restarted in Hong Kong.
In August 2020, Hong Kong set up a “fire eye laboratory” in the stadium of Zhongshan Memorial Park. At that time, there were 16 gas film laboratories, and about 200 mainland inspectors arrived in Hong Kong to participate in the testing.
On February 11, when answering investors’ questions on the interactive platform, the Secretary of Bgi Genomics Co.Ltd(300676) revealed that on February 7, the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region announced the restart of the 16 compartment China gas film “fire eye laboratory”, which is expected to be gradually opened on February 15.
