People's Daily health client reporter learned from Tmall Health that in the early morning of March 14, Tmall Health's first new crown antigen self-test product has been launched, and the relevant workers told reporters, "After placing an order, it will be shipped the same day or the next day, and it can be delivered the next day." ”
The reporter changed the harvest address to Shanghai, Tianjin, Hubei, Gansu and other places, all of which showed that they could be shipped. Relevant staff told reporters that at present, all parts of the country can be shipped, but the supply is limited, and each person is limited to one box.
The People's Daily health client reporter logged on to the Meituan takeaway drug buying channel and also found that some pharmacies have launched online to pre-sell antigen self-testing agent boxes. Baidu Health and JD Health have also announced cooperation with a number of approved manufacturers and distributors, and the new crown virus antigen reagent test kit has been put on the shelves for sale. Consumers can search for "new crown antigen self-test" through Baidu Health Mini Program and Jingdong APP for pre-order.
At the same time, offline pharmacies have also successively put products on the shelves. The leading people's pharmacy of the domestic chain pharmacy announced that it has reached a cooperation with Guangzhou Wanfu Biological, and the first batch of new crown antigen rapid test products have been distributed in stores, and are expected to be sold in stores in the near future.
The relevant staff of the people's big pharmacy told reporters, "The first batch of products will be on the shelves in Shanghai and Hunan, first sold in stores, and then launched online, and it is expected that the products will arrive this week." ”
The price of the new crown antigen self-test agent box is about 30 yuan
Covid-19 antigen test kits on sale on the Tmall Health platform.
People's Daily health client reporter landed on Tmall Health found that a box of 20 people is priced at 480 yuan, a copy is priced at 24 yuan, and the product is valid for six months and is produced by Guangzhou Wanfu Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
The price of 1 person on the Meituan takeaway is 32.8 yuan, which is a product of Beijing Jinwolf Biotechnology Co., Ltd. The relevant staff of the Meituan takeaway drug buying channel told reporters that the product is expected to be shipped from Guangdong around the end of the month. Users can perform home self-tests according to the product manual, and the results can be observed in 15 to 20 minutes.
Testing at home avoids community transmission and cross-infection
Tan Xiaodong, a professor at the School of Public Health of Wuhan University, told the People's Daily health client reporter that the new crown antigen self-test has two advantages, "First, if there is a community infection, residents can test at home, reduce the possibility of going out, and avoid secondary community transmission and cross-infection, because after the antigen test is positive, you can directly notify the community to point-to-point control, and you don't have to go to the community to do nucleic acids, which is equivalent to reducing a transmission link for epidemic prevention and control."
"The second is that after the emergence of large-scale epidemics, especially in remote places, in the case of insufficient medical resources and insufficient nucleic acid testing capacity, it can play a good screening role and use limited forces where it is needed." Tan Xiaodong said.
Professor Tan Xiaodong also reminded, "The public must first follow the instructions to standardize operations; second, if there is a positive test, report to the community at the first time, wear a mask, and wait for arrangements; third, put away the relevant kits and wait for the professional department to uniformly recycle them, so as not to cause environmental pollution and form a new source of environmental infection." ”
