　　China News Service, May 7 (Xinhua) -- Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said in an answer to a reporter's question on the 7th that since April, the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Taiwan has spread rapidly, with more than 30,000 new confirmed cases per day in recent days. We are very concerned about the severe shortage of rapid antigen detection reagents.

Taiwan compatriots obtain antigen detection and rapid screening reagents as soon as possible, which is very important for epidemic prevention, control and diagnosis and treatment.

Relevant enterprises and institutions in Taiwan need to negotiate and purchase with relevant production enterprises in the mainland, and relevant parties in the mainland are willing to provide assistance.

　　A reporter asked: The recent outbreak of the epidemic on the island, the rapid increase in the number of infected people, and the severe shortage of quick-screening reagents. There is public opinion that the mainland will provide assistance. What are your thoughts on this?

　　In response, Zhu Fenglian said while making the above response, we are very concerned about the life and health of our compatriots on the island, and hope that the epidemic will end as soon as possible and life will return to normal.
