The reporter learned from the Nanjing Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters that as of 8 pm on July 21, the nucleic acid sampling and testing of key personnel such as cleaning and ground service at Nanjing Lukou International Airport have been completed.
Nucleic acid testing for all employees in Jiangning District, Nanjing City has completed sampling of 1.48 million people, covering about 77% of the permanent population.
All the rest of the districts were tested in an orderly manner.
The results of viral gene sequencing initially identified the source of infection and provided strong support for epidemiological investigation and traceability.
