He noted that when SARS broke out in 2003, scientists took five months to decode the pathogen as second-generation sequencing had yet to be developed.

他指出，2003年SARS爆发时，由于第二代测序尚未开发，科学家们花了五个月的时间来解码病原体。

Currently, it has more than 100 ongoing research programs in sectors including COVID-19 testing, respiratory tract pathogen detection, maternal and child health, blood checks and tumor detection.

目前，它在新冠肺炎检测、呼吸道病原体检测、母婴健康、血液检查和肿瘤检测等领域有100多个正在进行的研究项目。

The company also received market approval in China for two distinctive respiratory pathogen detection systems in April 2021 and May of this year, which can jointly detect 12 of the most common viruses and bacteria causing respiratory tract infections.

该公司还在2021年4月和今年5月获得了两种独特的呼吸道病原体检测系统在中国的市场批准，这两种系统可以联合检测12种最常见的导致呼吸道感染的病毒和细菌。

The possibility of pathogen transmission can be reduced greatly with the trash cans.

Chinese biotech and IVD companies invested heavily into the development and production of new test kits and genetic devices for rapid pathogen detection, even when a lack of testing resources hindered prevention and control of COVID-19 in China.

COVID strategy optimizedWith medical systems fortified, new variants getting tamer and 90 percent of the population armed with vaccines, China recently announced new measures to optimize its epidemic control as it's latest efforts to contain the shocks of the pathogen on society and economy, after the country has managed to save as many lives as possible and achieve notable economic growth.

They may also contract illnesses from different pathogen variants," Liu said.

People eligible for subsidies are those who directly contact with suspected cases of the novel coronavirus, or are at the work on diagnosis, treatment, nursing, nosocomial infection control, case sample collection and pathogen detection, the document explained.
