After most of the snow in the middle of the night, Zhengzhou was all white.
At 7 am on the 5th, Liu Wen, who had just woke up, habitually touched his mobile phone first and found out that his friends had begun to forward the news that “Zhengzhou is carrying out nucleic acid testing for all employees” after looking through the "moments of friends".
"I hope that the epidemic can be controlled before the Spring Festival, so that I can go back to my hometown to spend the Spring Festival." Liu Wen said.

At the beginning of 2022, Zhengzhou once again encountered the new crown pneumonia epidemic.
On January 3, Zhengzhou City found local asymptomatic infections during routine nucleic acid testing. As of 18:00 on the 4th, the city had reported a total of 2 local confirmed cases and 9 asymptomatic infections.
It is Zhengzhou's official commitment to the citizens to extinguish the epidemic early and at an early age to prevent the spread of the epidemic. The rapid implementation of nucleic acid testing for all employees is one of the "weapons" for thorough investigation of potential new coronary pneumonia infections.
In August and November 2021, Zhengzhou City also adopted multiple rounds of full-staff nucleic acid testing and other measures to contain the epidemic in a short period of time.

According to the deployment of the Zhengzhou City Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters, on January 5, Zhengzhou City launched a nationwide nucleic acid test. More than 12.6 million people in the city will complete the test within two days.
In the cold wave after the snow, the citizens of Zhengzhou will also start the first nucleic acid test in 2022.
"It's so cold today!" Li Ke couldn't help but shrink his neck when he got out of the car.
He is a physician at the Henan Provincial Workers' Hospital. He and nearly 40 colleagues were responsible for the sampling of the nucleic acid test site in Wenbo Square that day.
He is already very familiar with the layout and environment here, "We are responsible for the national nucleic acid testing at this point in the Zhengzhou epidemic in August and November 2021."
After the snow stopped, the city was plain white, and it was in the cold weather. The highest temperature outside Zhengzhou was only 3°C. This is a big challenge for the staff who have been outdoors for a long time to carry out nucleic acid testing.
The biggest challenge is the cold.
"We wore very thick clothes and attached a'warm baby', but we could only wear a thin layer of gloves on our hands. At today's temperature, our hands were frozen and numb after a while." Henan who participated in the throat swab sampling Li Qianqian, a medical staff member of the Provincial Workers' Hospital, told reporters that in order to relieve the stiffness of the hands, she and her partner could only rub their hands quickly during the change, or touch the "warm baby" on the thigh for a while.
At 13:00, there were no falling snowflakes in the sky over Zhengzhou, but the cold remained.
At the nucleic acid testing point near Nongming Tianming Road in Zhengzhou City, citizens lining up wrapped in thick coats and hats "fully armed" to keep warm. Volunteers kept order and used loud speakers to inform them of precautions.
A female volunteer with a slightly hoarse voice told reporters: "I have been preparing since 7 o'clock in the morning, and I haven't eaten lunch yet."

The weather is freezing cold, but the heart-warming moments are also performed at various nucleic acid testing sites in Zhengzhou.
At the nucleic acid detection sampling site of Weisi Road, Weisi Road, Jinshui District, Jinshui District, Henan Cancer Hospital, residents who came to do nucleic acid spontaneously brought warm water bags to medical staff.
Before going out, the citizen Zhao Wei specially found out the "warm baby" at home, and when he came to the nucleic acid test site, he gave the "warm baby" to the medical staff and volunteers.
"The weather is too cold, but there are so many people who are silently freezing to protect this city. They are fighting on the front line of the fight against the epidemic. I am very pleased that these'warm babies' can support the'frontline'."

"I really didn't expect everyone to be so caring. The warm water bag and the'warm baby' came too timely. In such a cold day, warming up is even more heartwarming." The medical staff surnamed Wang who was in charge of sampling at that point told reporters that in 2021 She received ice cubes from residents during the national nucleic acid test in the midsummer of August. Whether it was the heat or the cold winter, the support and care behind the people made her feel more at ease.
As the New Year is approaching, whether or not to return to their hometown has become the focus of attention of many people.
Seeing dedicated medical staff and cooperating residents at the nucleic acid test site, citizen Tian Fangfang seemed to see hope, "Everyone wants to go home for the reunion year, so everyone needs to cooperate at this stage."
It was getting dark, and bright searchlights illuminated the nucleic acid test spot where Li Ke was.
He couldn't remember how many times he heard "Thank you" and "Thank you for your hard work" on this day. He only remembers every face with his mask removed, no panic, no fear, more peace and trust.
"We will definitely overcome this epidemic and protect everyone for a peaceful and reunion Spring Festival." Li Ke told reporters.
