　　Through this inspection, we found only a few, that is, there is a potential source of infection, and did not find such a situation that caused a large-scale spillover, so this result is very good, and it also makes the citizens of Wuhan feel relieved.

　　On the one hand, standardize the sampling process.

The professional medical staff at the sampling points have been trained and qualified, and the samples are collected, transported, stored, and sent for inspection in strict accordance with the standardized procedures.

On the other hand, strictly check the quality.

The detection is combined with point and surface, and the detection is carried out with key points and gradients. The key areas are first sealed and then tested. The key populations are re-examined daily, and other areas are rapidly advancing.

Single inspection and mixed inspection are combined, single inspection is implemented in medium-risk areas, and 10:1 mixed inspection is implemented in low-risk areas.

A group of clinical laboratory experts will be assigned for guidance.

Carry out the whole-process quality monitoring and evaluation of testing institutions to ensure the accuracy of testing.

　　[Explanation] On August 2, Wuhan Economic Development Zone reported that a cluster of infection occurred on the construction site of the Wuhan Zhuankou Project of China Construction Third Bureau.

After investigation, Tang, the first confirmed patient in this round of the epidemic in Wuhan, was a migrant worker at the construction site.
