In a remarkable display of community coordination, Wuhan is conducting nucleic acid testing on all its 11 million residents. The process is spearheaded by community secretary Zhou Chengyu, whose day is meticulously documented in a recent video.
Upon receiving notification to commence testing, Zhou and her team immediately began registering residents through online platforms, telephone calls, and door-to-door visits. This comprehensive approach ensures that every individual is accounted for and given the opportunity to participate.
At the testing sites, strict safety protocols are in place. Residents maintain safe distances while providing samples, and testing staff diligently disinfect each area after every test to prevent cross-infection. Special priority is given to children and the elderly, reflecting the community's commitment to protecting its most vulnerable members.
Local residents have expressed their appreciation for the efforts, noting that the government's and the CPC's dedication to public health has made their lives feel safer and more secure. This large-scale testing initiative underscores Wuhan's proactive stance in safeguarding its population and mitigating health risks.
