The situation of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong is severe, with more than 100 newly confirmed cases for 11 consecutive days, and the source of many cases is unknown. Early detection, isolation and treatment are crucial at this moment. Today (2nd), the Central Government dispatched seven "advanced teams" from the "Mainland Nucleic Acid Testing Support Team" to Hong Kong to support the fight against the epidemic. On the streets of Hong Kong, Hong Kong citizens waved national flags and raised banners to warmly welcome their arrival.
Hong Kong is a bit rainy today. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, outside the "Hong Kong Square Cabin Hospital" at the AsiaWorld-Expo, Hong Kong citizens waved a huge five-star red flag and the regional flag of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Placards such as "National Medical Team Helping Hong Kong Fight the Epidemic" welcome the 7 "advanced team" members who come to Hong Kong. On the raised banner, the words "Thanks for the care and support of the motherland to Hong Kong" are particularly eye-catching. Other citizens waved their national flags and said in unison: "Thank you for your motherland, thank you for the medical team in your country, and welcome to Hong Kong."
It is understood that the first "Mainland Nucleic Acid Testing Support Team" is composed of about 60 clinical laboratory technicians selected by the Guangdong Provincial Health Commission from more than 20 public hospitals in the province. Among them, 7 members of the "advance team" have arrived in Hong Kong today. They will begin to assist the laboratory after a meeting with the Hong Kong government's health department and BGI genetic testing agencies.
