The reporter searched "covid-19 self-test" on Taobao and found that at present, there are detailed covid-19 antigen self-test purchase instructions and use process introduction on the page. The product is sampled by nasal swab, and the test results are expected to be read in 10-20 minutes.

Covid-19 antigen self-test products including Guangzhou Wondfo Biotech Co.Ltd(300482) , which will be pre sold soon, are the official launch of tmall co brand online.

According to the application program for covid-19 virus antigen detection (hereinafter referred to as the program) issued on March 11, three groups of people can use covid-19 virus antigen detection: "people who visit grass-roots medical and health institutions with respiratory tract, fever and other symptoms within 5 days", "isolated observers" and "community residents with antigen self-detection needs". Among them, "community residents who need self-test can purchase antigen test reagents for self-test through retail pharmacies, online sales platforms and other channels".
It is reported that the tmall health industry is operated by Alibaba health. Since the covid-19 antigen self-test product was approved, Alibaba health has actively connected with relevant enterprises. On the premise of ensuring compliance, Alibaba health has launched a pre-sale channel for consumers with self-test needs at the first time. Compared with nucleic acid detection, antigen detection is faster and more convenient, avoiding the risk of gathering and cross infection. It can be completed at home. Once positive, relevant measures can also be taken as soon as possible to reduce the scope of virus transmission and strive for treatment time.
The plan points out that nucleic acid detection is still the basis for the diagnosis of covid-19 virus, and antigen detection is used as a supplementary means for screening specific populations, which is conducive to improving the ability of "early detection". If the antigen test is positive, the residents shall immediately report to the community (village and town) where they are located.
