　　China News Service, Jilin, March 27 (Reporter Shi Hongyu) Late at night on the 26th, Xing Ru, a 29-year-old inspector, was still "racing" against the virus.

In the mobile nucleic acid detection vehicle, there are nearly 100 holes on the palm-sized detection plate. She has to hold the injection gun steadily and carefully add samples to the specimen.

This can put a lot of pressure on the eyes, wrists, and shoulders.

　　"(Each round) nucleic acid testing is a sprint and has to be completed within a fixed time. But in this round of the epidemic, we are comparing endurance." On March 7, Xing Ru's nucleic acid testing team went to Jilin City. With the support of Shulan City, nearly 20 rounds of nucleic acid testing have been carried out, effectively cutting off the chain of virus transmission.

　　However, the current epidemic situation in Jilin City, Jilin Province is still severe.

According to data from the Jilin Municipal Health Commission, from 0:00 to 24:00 on the 26th, there were 434 new local confirmed cases and 509 new local asymptomatic infections.

Xing Ru said the "sprint" of her and her colleagues will continue.

　　After the current round of the epidemic, Jilin Province set up a number of nucleic acid testing teams to go to the front line of the fight against the epidemic.

Xing Ru is from the First Clinical Hospital of Jilin Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She is in a testing team of 160 people, including 56 inspectors and 78 sampling personnel.

　　The team arrived in Shulan at noon on March 7 and went to work in the afternoon.

According to Xing Ru, the team was divided into three groups and rotated 24 hours a day to ensure quick results.

Each of them worked more than 10 hours a day.

　　In the test car, Xing Ru and her colleagues had to face the virus head-on. She couldn't care about the sultry feeling brought by the protective clothing, and she had to control her breathing during operation.

"According to the calculation of 10 mixed 1, one test board can detect nearly 1,000 people." Xing Ru can complete the test of 8,000 people every 6 hours, which is quite efficient.

　　In the middle of the night on the 26th, the nucleic acid testing team received a temporary notice that a batch of samples were urgently sent to Shulan in the urban area of ​​Jilin City, and they were to hand over the test results on the morning of the 27th.

The team worked hard all night and finished the work on time.

　　Xing Ru read the news to find out that on the 27th, a new round of nucleic acid was launched in the urban area of ​​Jilin City.

The urgent work of this team has ensured the progress of epidemic prevention.

　　This is the first time that Xing Ru has faced the epidemic in her 4 years of work. She has been working at a high intensity, and her wrists are a little swollen.

During the time off, she has been closing her eyes to cultivate.

"Until the epidemic is eliminated, our work will not stop," she said.
