China Youth Daily, China Youth Daily reporter Liu Shangjun
On May 28, Li Xi, a nurse from a medical examination center in Beijing, joined more than 30,000 nucleic acid testing volunteers to participate in the training of the Beijing nucleic acid sampling volunteer service project online.
"From the operation methods and standard steps of nucleic acid testing, to the attention time for specimen transportation, to the protection requirements and psychological counseling of volunteers, the training course is very practical." Li Xi, 23 years old, just graduated from university and started working.
After learning about Beijing's recruitment of nucleic acid testing volunteers from social media, she immediately signed up on the "Volunteer Beijing" platform, "I am a nursing student and have a professional background, so it is my duty to participate in the anti-epidemic work."
In order to do a good job in the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in the capital and further improve the city's nucleic acid testing and sampling capacity, on May 24, Beijing recruited nucleic acid testing volunteers from the society. The recruitment started less than 48 hours ago, and the number of applicants exceeded 30,000.
A reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily learned that the applicants include medical students, working doctors, and ordinary people who have engaged in related medical professions.
In fact, in the past month, many of them have gone through the critical moment of Beijing's epidemic prevention and control as volunteers.
Since the current round of the epidemic, Li Xi has signed up to volunteer many times.
In early May, she participated in the nucleic acid detection task in Ganjiakou Street, Haidian District.
Although his work unit is in Haidian, his family lives in Changping.
When the subway was still operating normally, Li Xi started from home at 5 o'clock every day and arrived at the community at 7 o'clock to start work and be responsible for the nucleic acid test at the home.
The hardest time, she and her colleagues climbed to the 12th floor in protective clothing when the elevator was out of service. "It's hot, it's worth it," Li Xi said.
Dong Hanqing, a junior at Capital Medical University, recently volunteered at the Chaoyang Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
As a medical student, Dong Hanqing never misses an opportunity to fulfill his professional mission.
In mid-May, he took the initiative to contact his teachers and classmates in Chaoyang Hospital and became a nucleic acid testing volunteer in Chaowai Street, Chaoyang District. As long as he had time and needs, he would go to different volunteer positions as a volunteer.
Cai Yanying, a doctor from the Testing Center of Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, once again took the initiative to invite Ying to the front line of epidemic prevention and control.
In her opinion, nucleic acid testing is the most basic work for epidemic prevention and control. "The more basic work is, the more someone needs to do it, and this is my specialty."
Since the outbreak of the epidemic in Beijing, Beijing Children's Hospital has dispatched a large number of medical staff to support the shelter and the community.
And Cai Yanying's husband, who is also a doctor, is also in the main battlefield of epidemic prevention and control. Most of the time, Cai Yanying alone takes on the heavy responsibility of taking care of the family.
This time, she signed up for nucleic acid testing volunteers, "As long as it doesn't affect her own work, she can support at any time as long as she is off work!"
Shi Xuefeng, a member of the team directly under the Emergency Rescuers Committee of the China Volunteers Association, also signed up for nucleic acid testing volunteers.
Although not a doctor, Shi Xuefeng holds a rescue professional qualification certificate and has participated in many epidemic prevention and control and disaster rescue missions.
In the past few days, Shi Xuefeng was running on the road. As a member of the Shunyi Community Transport Team, he provided pick-up and drop-off services for residents in the community who needed to go out for medical treatment.
On May 12, all ground bus operations in Shunyi District were suspended.
In order to ensure that citizens travel for medical treatment, the group of the rescue team responded immediately. On the same day, Shi Xuefeng and his colleagues claimed the task. From 7:30, a total of 5 trains were sent, carrying mothers who were eight months pregnant, and those who needed infusion treatment. Infants, elderly people on dialysis and other residents travel to and from designated hospitals until 5 pm.
"If there is a need in the community, please contact us directly." In addition to the hospitals in Shunyi, Shi Xuefeng's team has been to Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Dongzhimen Hospital, the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University, and Xiehe Hospital. Once, Shi Xuefeng was traveling with a lung cancer patient. In order to express his gratitude, the elderly couple just stuffed him with mung bean cakes and donkeys, and told him to eat on the road.
It is understood that the applicants will officially become Beijing nucleic acid sampling service volunteers after passing the assessment. They will be engaged in nucleic acid sampling work under the unified deployment of the Beijing Municipal Health Commission, and will be included in the Beijing Nucleic Acid Sampling Emergency Reserve Personnel Bank.
