On August 25, Sweden’s Public Health Agency announced that more than 3,700 Swedes were erroneously told they had the CCP virus due to defects in testing kits made in China.
In the statement, Swedish health authorities said that the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) testing kits, manufactured by Shenzhen-based genome sequencing company BGI Genomics, were unable to distinguish between very low and no viral genetic material.
