[Explanation] Up to now, nearly 1.5 million people have participated in the Hong Kong Universal Community Testing Program.
This number means that nearly 1.5 million sample bottles have been turned into effective parameters for public health safety prevention and control by the hands of the inspectors. Every sample has been collected from the sampling to the completion of the analysis.
Deng Yanqin, a member of the mainland nucleic acid testing support team from the Fujian CDC, told reporters that in order to improve efficiency and ensure quality, the testing team has conducted a very detailed division of labor.

Our 600-person inspection team is here. We have carried out a very detailed division of labor. We have sample group, field group, material group, reagent preparation group, unpacking group, sampling group, extraction group, amplification group, Data analysis group, data coordination group.
So we are actually divided into more than a dozen groups, and then each person in his position can complete the work of their own position as quickly as possible, so that we can improve our inspection efficiency and ensure our inspection quality. .
[Explanation] Deng Yanqin arrived in Hong Kong on September 3 and joined the on-site technical team, responsible for personnel arrangements, process refinement, and emergency adjustments.
She said that at first, the inspection work was carried out in two shifts. Each shift lasted for 12 hours, and fatigue and injuries were commonplace.

Our most difficult two positions are unpacking and sampling. These are all done manually, so they often maintain the same working posture for a long time, so it is easy to cause some local damage. , It is really hard.
[Explanation] Deng Yanqin said that many team members voluntarily asked to be transferred to the most difficult positions, but the colleagues in the difficult positions were always slightly injured.
This made her feel the spirit power of the players' fighting spirit.
As the members of the mainland nucleic acid testing support team are in place in batches, the duration of each shift has been shortened from 12 hours to 8 hours, and the pressure of the testing work has not been alleviated.

In order to improve the efficiency of our testing, our team members can't leave the warehouse for 8 hours. Many team members wear diapers and try not to leave the warehouse.
[Explanation] Since the mainland nucleic acid testing support team came to Hong Kong, enthusiastic citizens have continued to express their welcome and gratitude to them through various ways and channels such as writing letters, sending emails, making greeting cards, hand-painted themed cartoons, and sending flower baskets.
Deng Yanqin felt very warm about this.

From here, I really feel very warm. This is the feeling of the same family member that blood is thicker than water. Then we believe that with the support of the general public, our Hong Kong will be able to overcome the epidemic as soon as possible.
After the epidemic, Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient, will be even more brilliant.
