　　Fourteen years ago, Wei Lin studied in Hong Kong for 10 months as one of the Guangdong-Hong Kong joint training specialist nurses.

14 years later, as the leader of the nucleic acid sampling team of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, she led the team to support Hong Kong's fight against the epidemic.

　　"Hong Kong provided the best teachers back then to help us train specialist nurses in elderly care. When I received the notification for nucleic acid sampling in Hong Kong, my first reaction was that I should go." Wei Lin has special feelings for Hong Kong.

　　The fifth wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong is coming.

On February 19, a 106-member mainland nucleic acid sampling team for Hong Kong aid braved cold wind and rain to enter Hong Kong for support.

After the team arrived in Hong Kong, after sampling training and on-site observation, from the 21st, more than 100 mainland nucleic acid sampling team members joined the Hong Kong nucleic acid sampling team at the sampling sites in Yuen Long, Yau Tsim Mong, North District, Ma On Shan and To Kwa Wan. Work.

　　Zhang Nu, the leader of the Central Anti-epidemic Nucleic Acid Sampling Team Aided to Hong Kong and the Deputy Dean of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, said in an exclusive interview with China News Agency that the average age of the nucleic acid sampling team from the Mainland aided to Hong Kong was 35.7 years old. Work experience in fever clinic/isolation ward, rich experience in nucleic acid sampling and professional quality of infection prevention and control.

　　"On the first day of work, we sampled a nucleic acid point at an open-air football field in Ma'anshan. It was raining and the temperature was estimated to be around 8 degrees Celsius. Citizens lined up in a 'snake-shaped' queue to wait for nucleic acid testing." Zhang Nu recalled It is said that there are elderly people, white-collar workers at work, and foreigners who came to the test voluntarily.

　　"From the end of February to the beginning of March, the epidemic prevention and control situation in Hong Kong was severe and complicated, and the workload during the peak period was heavy.

For example, the mainland adopts the "throat swab, mixed inspection" mode, and Hong Kong adopts the "bilateral nasal swab and throat swab mixed, single person and single inspection" mode.

After the preliminary training, the players quickly became proficient.

　　While improving the capacity and speed of nucleic acid sampling, in order to ensure the continuous and safe development of nucleic acid sampling, the working team has formulated a number of plans and procedures based on the principle of "sampling procedures in Hong Kong and infection control measures in the Mainland" to continuously improve the awareness of infection prevention and control. , knowledge and skills.

　　"What impresses me most is that many Hong Kong citizens will take the initiative to speak their native language with us." Xu Chaoyan, captain of the first batch of nucleic acid sampling teams of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, said that due to the impact of the epidemic in the past two years, many Hong Kong Citizens cannot return to the Mainland, and they feel very cordial when they know that the personnel in charge of sampling are from the Mainland.

　　"The team members received a lot of thank-you letters and cards, as well as thumbs-up from Hong Kong citizens. Many citizens went to the sampling sites of the sampling team from the mainland to assist Hong Kong to sample." Talking about the recognition and gratitude of Hong Kong citizens, Xu Chaoyan felt in her heart. feel warm.

　　"From the first day of our aid to Hong Kong, until now, the Hong Kong officials, sampling nurses and citizens that we have come into contact with have been very friendly to us." Zhang Nu said, "It can be said that the cooperation between the two sides has been seamless."
