Sino Biopharm (01177.HK) announced on the 15th that it has purchased 70,000 sets of COVID-19 antigen testing kits and donated them to the HKSAR Government and the "Hong Kong Community Anti-epidemic Link" respectively, hoping to help Hong Kong fight against the epidemic and alleviate the urgent need of currently overloading testing capacity.

The testing kits donated by Sino Biopharm are used for residents' self-testing and have been certified by the European Union with CE certificate and sensitivity of 96.38%, which is expected to further increase the amount of nucleic acid testing and provide effective help to Hong Kong's anti-epidemic work.

Cheng Cheung Ling, Vice Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Sino Biopharm and Chairwoman of the HKCPPCC Members Association Limited, said, "The Central Government fully supports Hong Kong in its fight against the epidemic, and the epidemic in Hong Kong has always concerned the whole nation. We should fully carry forward the great spirit of fighting the epidemic in the Mainland of our country, unite and mobilize the whole society, and mobilize resources from all aspects to assist Hong Kong in fighting the epidemic. Philanthropy is also a natural responsibility of our pharmaceutical people to the society and the industry. Therefore, it is incumbent upon Sino Biopharm to help the SAR fight against the epidemic. I believe that with the joint efforts of all Hong Kong people, Hong Kong will be able to win this 'battle' against the epidemic."
