Citizens in Beijing's "long queue" for nucleic acid detection: had eaten near restaurants where the cases were diagnosed
China-Singapore Jingwei client, June 19 (Zhang Yanzheng) "Everyone keeps a distance, one meter apart, and those who do nucleic acid detection please line up behind." Three security guards in uniform said to the person who had just come to the test. On the morning of June 18, a reporter from China-Singapore Jingwei noticed that there were two long lines at the entrance of a medical examination center in Chaoyang District, Beijing, and even lined up at the entrance of the cafe around the corner. Each team had about 30 people. In addition, a "nucleic acid detection" guide street sign was placed at the intersection of the medical examination center.
With the escalation of Beijing's epidemic prevention and control, many citizens have made appointments for nucleic acid testing as required. Recently, a reporter from China-Singapore Jingwei interviewed several citizens who made appointments for nucleic acid testing and listened to their reasons and experiences.
"You need to hold a nucleic acid negative certificate within 7 days out of Beijing"
Mr. Li, Chaoyang District, Beijing Internet Industry
At 9 a.m. on June 18th, when Mr. Li came to the entrance of a medical examination center in Chaoyang District, Beijing, there were already a long queue of nearly 50 people in front of him. Picked up the phone and took a live photo.
Mr. Li introduced that due to the nature of his work, he needed to travel frequently. According to the work plan, he should fly from Beijing to Shenzhen on the evening of June 18 to participate in the project activities of the following week. However, I checked the news one day before departure and found that I need to hold a nucleic acid negative certificate within 7 days of leaving Beijing.
It is understood that Beijing announced on the evening of June 16 that the emergency response level for public health emergencies was adjusted from three to two. Subsequently, Chen Bei, deputy secretary-general of the Beijing Municipal Government, said at a press conference that, under the second-level response, relevant personnel in the high-risk street and new development market are prohibited from leaving Beijing, and other personnel insist that "unnecessary not leave Beijing" Those leaving Beijing must hold a negative nucleic acid test within 7 days.

"After seeing the news, I quickly made a report to the boss and delayed the date of the meeting with the client by 5 days. Then, I called the nucleic acid test by phone and tested it for 260 yuan." Mr. Li laughed, "Fortunately, I can't help In the middle and high-risk areas, you can't leave Beijing at all." He introduced that the ticket has been cancelled, and the company's human resources department will be notified to rebook the ticket after the nucleic acid test results are out.
However, what worries Mr. Li is that the nucleic acid test results may come out relatively slowly this time. “The nurses at the medical examination center said that there have been many people who have recently performed nucleic acid testing, and the exact time for the results cannot be guaranteed. It may be two or three days, or it may take four days. It is not used for the medical examination center to obtain reports. You can check the nucleic acid test results."
"Passing a high-risk epidemic area"
Ms. Wang, a state-owned enterprise in Dongcheng District, Beijing
At the entrance of the medical examination center, Ms. Wang was in the front position, and was also one of the first people to complete the nucleic acid test. Ms. Wang introduced that she had been queuing up at the entrance of the medical examination from 6 am. "I was passing the Xinfadi market, so the doctor asked me more details, but the whole test process was very fast. The doctor took a special cotton swab and reached into his mouth to pick up some secretion-like things, and the sampling was just a few. minute."

Compared with the throat swab sampling completed in a few minutes, Ms. Li said that the process of booking a nucleic acid test was “too difficult”.
From the WeChat notice displayed by Ms. Li, the China-Singapore Jingwei reporter saw that the message sent on June 16 showed, "According to the superior notice, in order to meet the requirements of Beijing's epidemic prevention work, comprehensive screening and Yuquan Dong Vegetable Market, Guangwai Tiantao Honglian Vegetable Market and other related personnel, if you have been to the above vegetable market from May 31 to June 15, please cooperate with the registration or reply information."
Ms. Li introduced that in early June, she used a bus to pass the Xinfadi vegetable wholesale market. For safety reasons, she reported this situation to the unit, and was temporarily suspended by the unit and asked her to go to the hospital for nucleic acid testing as soon as possible. . "On June 16th, I called several hospitals on that day to make an appointment for nucleic acid testing, but the Beijing designated hospital was already full on that day. It needs to be arranged four or five days later, and the Ciming Health Examination Center only accepts group nucleic acids. Testing, I finally found the physical examination center now for personal testing, but it also ranked three days later."
"Dining near the restaurant where the case was diagnosed"
Mr. Chang, Fengtai District, Beijing Media Industry
Mr. Chang, who lives in Fengtai District of Beijing, is considering doing nucleic acid testing in the near future. Mr. Chang introduced that he had eaten at a restaurant in Fengtai before, and next to this restaurant was a Sichuan restaurant that had been diagnosed with 5 waiters.
It is understood that on June 14th, Beijing announced a confirmed case of a catering industry employee. The waitress was working at the Lijichuan Caishou Economic and Trade Store near Fengtai Huaxiang Shoujing. It is reported that the waiter and the chef went to Xinfadi Market to buy plates on June 4. On the evening of June 16, the Beijing Center for Disease Control again announced that four of the newly-diagnosed people on that day were close contacts with female patients who were diagnosed two days ago. In other words, all five employees of this Sichuan restaurant in Fengtai were diagnosed.
Mr. Chang said that on June 4, the waiter of the Sichuan restaurant visited the Xinfadi market, and he and his friends went to the restaurant next to the restaurant on June 5. "In the past two days, my friend has just done a nucleic acid test and the result is negative. Today (June 18), my community organized a free nucleic acid test. In order to reassure myself, I also considered the safety of my friends and colleagues. , It’s more reassuring to do a test."
"Coming back from Beijing was asked by the community to test again"
Guangdong Shantou Zheng Yu (pseudonym) Job-seekers
Looking back on her experience in Beijing this time, Zheng Yu never imagined that it was precisely during her two days in Beijing that Beijing suddenly announced the occurrence of a local case. Afterwards, she had to do two nucleic acid tests after returning to Guangdong.
On June 10, Zheng Yu, who had just graduated from university this year, came to a company in Beijing to participate in the interview and written test, and returned to Shantou, Guangdong on the afternoon of the 12th. Since the interviewing unit was in Xicheng District, Beijing, she booked a hotel near the company and rented it for two nights.
Unfortunately, just two days after coming to Beijing for an interview, Beijing announced an escalation in epidemic prevention and control. It is reported that on June 11, Beijing notified Xicheng District of a new confirmed case. On June 12, Beijing confirmed another 6 cases. The sudden rebound of the epidemic also caused her family to worry about Zheng Yu’s safety and urged her to pay attention to protection and come home early.
For safety reasons, Zheng Yu, who has returned to Shantou, decided to do nucleic acid testing. On the morning of June 15, Zheng Yu performed a nucleic acid test at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University School of Medicine at a cost of 75 yuan. "When I was going to read the test results the next day, I was very nervous, as if I had gone through the second college entrance examination, because many people around me were paying attention to the test results, but fortunately the results showed negative results."
As the community screening began, on June 18, Zheng Yu received a telephone notification from the local community staff. The other party said that the people returning from Beijing need to do a second nucleic acid test after 14 days of isolation at home. (Sino-Singapore Jingwei APP)
