On November 18, Taobao Flash Sale and ALI HEALTH announced the launch of a new "At-Home Rapid Testing" service, featuring a "12-in-1 Respiratory Virus and Bacteria Test." This service enables users to undergo professional-grade testing at home, with results available in an average of three hours, providing a basis for scientific medication and effectively alleviating healthcare pressure during flu season.

Currently, the "At-Home Rapid Testing" service is in trial operation in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou. Users can search for "居家闪检" on the Taobao App to access the service page and schedule an appointment. A professionally trained courier will deliver a sampling kit to their doorstep, assist with throat swab collection, and transport the sample to a nationally certified laboratory for testing. Users can view their test reports online within an average of three hours.

The "12-in-1 Respiratory Virus and Bacteria Test" covers 12 common respiratory pathogens, including Influenza A, Influenza B, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, SARS-CoV-2, human rhinovirus, and adenovirus, addressing diverse testing needs during peak infection periods. Compared to traditional hospital testing, this service minimizes the need for clinic visits and crowds during flu season, reducing the risk of cross-infection—especially for vulnerable groups like the elderly and children. Additionally, it employs the same testing technology used in hospitals, ensuring high accuracy. The service helps users quickly and precisely identify infection sources, guiding appropriate medication and avoiding unnecessary drug use.
