Biotech firms are ramping up production of test kits with demand growing despite lingering questions over their accuracy AFP/STR, STRBEIJING: Chinese tech giant Sina set up a special room in its Beijing office for workers to be tested for the coronavirus. A school took swab samples from students before allowing them into classrooms. A traveller took the test before a trip to another province.
JD said its reservation page has had more than three million views since the service was launched in mid-April. Samples were taken from students on the playground as they stood 1.5m apart from each other. They were only authorised to go to class after getting a negative result. "It's very convenient to do the test in Shanghai," Mao Li said."I went to the test station and after lining up for 20 minutes it was my turn."
"There's a lot of these antibody tests coming in from China now that are low quality, false readings and things like that," Navarro told Fox News on Monday as the United States sought to ramp up its own testing capacity.China's National Medical Products Administration told AFP that tests for antibodies meet safety requirements and quality controls but that such products must be used together with nucleic acid tests.
