The city will complete nucleic acid testing in five districts within the next three days, while the testing will cover the whole city in five days, according to a notice issued by the municipal health commission, adding that the results will be released in a timely manner.
Starting from 7 a.m. Monday, the residents of a community in the city's Shinan District began to line up at a testing point to receive nucleic acid testing. They were notified to undergo the testing on Sunday evening.
"It took about 20 minutes to wait before getting the testing. It's a responsible move to conduct tests for ourselves and for others, too," said a local resident surnamed Wang.
The Bank of England denying Venezuela access to its gold (due to British support for Trump's 'regime change' policy) was always outrageous, but it's particularly shameful during the global fight against COVID-19.
