According to reports from CTi News Network on July 1, 2024, the COVID-19 situation is escalating with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimating that the number of infections may exceed 100,000 by mid-July. A second batch of free rapid tests will be distributed this week. Pharmacist Shen Caiying noted a significant increase in rapid test sales due to lack of information on locations providing free tests. The Ministry of Health and Welfare has distributed 3 million doses of free rapid test kits in two phases and will not be procuring more. Demand for rapid tests has surged following the recent uptick in COVID-19 cases, with some consumers buying multiple boxes at once.
