How to deal with idle nucleic acid sampling kiosks Citizens call for transformation into service stations [Some sampling booths are in good condition, with tables, chairs, air conditioners and other materials inside; ownership units say they will be reused, and some citizens call for transformation into service stations]

　　investigation background

　　With the implementation of "Class B and B Control" for the new coronavirus infection in my country, most of the normalized nucleic acid sampling booths in Beijing have stopped serving and have been withdrawn.

Recently, the reporter visited and found that some sampling kiosks that were out of use were still abandoned on the street, and there were still air conditioners, tables and chairs and other facilities left unused.

　　There are tables, chairs, air conditioners, etc. in the idle nucleic acid sampling booth

　　On February 16, the reporter saw near the west of Sihui Bridge that there were two nucleic acid sampling booths placed side by side on the sidewalk.

The front window of one of the sampling booths was covered by black plastic, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the open-air table outside the booth.

Another sampling booth, from the hole on its side, you can see the set and leftover items inside, including chairs, dusty nucleic acid test tubes, and electric meters and air conditioners hanging on one wall.

Outside the sampling booth, a yellow medical trash can and a guardrail were lying aside, and the health treasure scanning code sign hanging on the window was damaged.

The reporter noticed that the location of this nucleic acid sampling booth happened to be in the middle of the road, and pedestrians passing by had to bypass it from the side.

　　In a small square east of Sihui Bridge, there are also two nucleic acid sampling kiosks.

The windows were also sealed with black plastic, but not tightly.

The furnishings inside can be seen from the break in the plastic. There are nucleic acid test tubes, tables and chairs in the small space.

The door of one of the nucleic acid sampling booths is glued with transparent glue, and the other can be pushed in.

　　Near Chaoyang CBD Wanda, the reporter saw three nucleic acid sampling kiosks, one of which was still carrying out nucleic acid testing services.

Nucleic acid test certificates are now required for some special positions and activities. A resident who had just finished sampling introduced that he had undergone a nucleic acid test as required because he was going to accompany the elderly in a nursing home in the near future.

Not far away, another nucleic acid sampling booth was apparently idle, and a large number of boxes were piled up inside the booth, accounting for two-thirds of it.

There is also a nucleic acid sampling booth that is relatively empty inside, and the sticker on the outside shows that its disinfection time is December 12, 2022.

　　Then the reporter came to the first phase of Dongheng Times and saw an idle nucleic acid sampling booth standing in an open space in the community. The windows were not locked and covered by yellow plastic.

Open the window to get a glimpse of the items inside. I saw two tables set up near the window. There were nucleic acid test tubes and unopened drinks on the table. There were three chairs and several cardboard boxes around the table.

Outside the sampling booth, there is an air conditioner placed on the ground.

　　On February 17, the reporter found an abandoned nucleic acid sampling kiosk at the north gate of Dingxiu Jinrui Community in Fengtai District. Part of the nucleic acid testing time on it was erased. When you opened the window, you could see some items inside were covered with cloth.

　　Nucleic acid sampling booths occupying the road have been removed for renovation

　　After the nucleic acid sampling booth has completed its "historical mission", it is abandoned on the street. Who should manage it and how?

In this regard, the reporter visited the relevant responsible units.

　　The phone number of the testing company was posted on the idle nucleic acid sampling kiosk located in the west of Sihui Bridge, and the reporter contacted the company's staff accordingly.

According to his introduction, their company is responsible for the docking of nucleic acid testing here, but the two pavilions do not belong to the company.

　　According to the staff member, after the normalized nucleic acid testing service ceased, the Chaoyang District government required all third parties and testing agencies to evacuate all nucleic acid sampling booths or store them in places designated by the government within a specified time.

Two weeks ago, all nucleic acid sampling booths affiliated to the company have been taken back, and the leased nucleic acid sampling booths have also been returned to their original units.

　　The staff of the Balizhuang Sub-district Office in Chaoyang District responded that after receiving reports from reporters, they have fed back and learned about the situation of the nucleic acid sampling booths and will clean them up.

Since the facilities and equipment of the nucleic acid sampling booths are in good condition, they will be recycled and reused to transform them into security guard booths or garbage sorting stations.

The staff said that these abandoned nucleic acid sampling booths will be moved to the community as soon as possible, without occupying external public space.

　　On February 22, the staff of the Balizhuang Sub-district Office in Chaoyang District contacted the reporter again, saying that several idle nucleic acid sampling booths currently occupying the area had been removed and were ready to start renovation.

　　The staff of Shiliuzhuang Sub-district Office in Fengtai District stated that the nucleic acid sampling booth at the north gate of Dingxiu Jinrui Community is the property of the sub-district office.

The other nucleic acid sampling booths on the street have been almost cleaned up, and only two nucleic acid sampling booths remain.

It is estimated that by March, the district may hand over the function of nucleic acid testing to the community health service center. If not, it will find another place to resettle. "We are currently waiting for the district's notice."

　　Some nucleic acid sampling booths realize "re-employment"

　　During the visit, many citizens expressed their views on how to reuse these nucleic acid sampling booths, and most of them suggested transforming idle nucleic acid sampling booths into various service stations.

　　"It's a pity to be idle. It would be nice if it could be changed to a roadside stall to sell something." Ms. Yao, a citizen, suggested that after all, it cost money to set up, so it should not be left idle. If it can be used well, it will provide convenience for the lives of ordinary people.

In addition, it can also be changed into a post station for sanitation workers to rest.

　　Some people also suggested that it remains to be seen whether these nucleic acid sampling booths can be removed. "When there is no mutated virus in summer, these booths can be removed and pulled near the shelter hospital for temporary storage or other facilities." The citizen express.

　　In addition to Beijing, other provinces and cities across the country have also made various attempts to "successfully transform" nucleic acid sampling booths.

According to media reports, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou, Sanya, Wuxi, Ningbo and other cities have transformed some nucleic acid sampling kiosks into "fever diagnosis and treatment stations" to provide symptomatic drug prescribing services for fever patients without underlying diseases, and patients with mild symptoms You can quickly complete the consultation, prescription, dispensing and other processes at your doorstep.

Pinghu City, Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province has transformed 100 idle nucleic acid sampling kiosks into "knight gas stations" in response to the inconvenience of rest for outdoor workers such as takeaway riders and courier boys.

At the exit of the Quxian North Expressway Toll Station in Dazhou City, Sichuan Province, a nucleic acid sampling booth was transformed into a "Quxian Service Station for Returning Homecoming Personnel".

In the Jurisprudence Square of Daofu County, Ganzi Prefecture, a nucleic acid sampling booth has been vacated and is ready to be used as a forest and grassland fire prevention booth.
