Those arriving from overseas regions or Taiwan via Hong Kong International Airport are required to undergo PCR nucleic acid testing by designated personnel at the temporary sample collection center located at the airport at the airport. arrival in Hong Kong under the “pending test” agreement, as well as designated personnel for rapid antigen test sampling. If the quick test result is virus free, you can go to immigration formalities.
He Bailiang, director of the Center for Infection and Infectious Diseases of the University of Hong Kong, said on a radio program this morning (31) that the airport nucleic acid test is of little use to people who have recovered from the new crown, especially those who recovered early. It is recommended to cancel the relevant agreements. He believes that the rapid antigen test on the 6th and 7th day after diagnosis did not detect the virus, which is already equal to healing and can be released from isolation. Due to the high sensitivity of the nucleic acid test, it is still possible to detect a small amount of virus remaining in the body.If a person who has recently been diagnosed and cured and is tested for the virus when arriving at the airport, it will be due to unnecessary quarantine arrangements for the person concerned.
