[르포]I got a corona test in China… Put a cotton swab in your mouth and’end’ in 2-3 seconds

Corona 19 total inspection is being conducted in Wangjing, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China. (Photo = provided by local residents)-In Wangjing, Chaoyang District, where Koreans live in Beijing, China, a complete corona 19 test began on the 26th with a two-day schedule.

The Chaoyang-gu Sanitation and Health Committee decided on a full-scale inspection the day before, with anxiety about the re-proliferation of Corona 19, with three confirmed cases coming out of a hotel in 798 Art District adjacent to Wangjing and two confirmed cases in nearby Sunui-gu. It is a measure according to the situation.

According to Baidu, China’s largest search engine, Wangjing has a population of about 300,000, mostly apartment villages like Ilsan and Bundang. The previous night, as a result of inquiries to the regional committee, which is similar to that of the government office in Korea, but with a much higher authority, a reply came to him saying that a total inspection will be conducted on the 26th and 27th, and to wait for the results to come out.

Wangjing Corona 19 Inspection Station, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China (Photo = provided by local residents)-When I woke up in the morning, 5 tents for nucleic acid testing were also built in the central plaza of the apartment where the reporter resides, and people who seem to be involved in it were busy moving early. Nucleic acid testing began at 9 am. Residents flocked to be tested. Red Cross members of our Red Cross, police, and security personnel in the complex helped with nucleic acid testing.

When the line was long, it was made about 30 meters in double layers, but the procedure was relatively quick as I made a reservation with a mobile phone app in advance and made it out. Residents moved in unison according to the instructions of the authorities. The distance of more than 1m was not observed, but there was no anxious or tense atmosphere. The temperature wasn’t too low, so it felt like a village event.

The reporter’s family was also tested during the day. Foreigners couldn’t make reservations, so they had to line up with their passports. However, in less than 10 minutes, an agent of the Red Cross Society, standing at the top of the line, entered the passport number, English name, and mobile phone number on the portable terminal. Then, the paper on which the QR code was generated came out.

When the children said they didn’t have a cell phone, I entered the reporter’s cell phone number. Again, a piece of paper with a QR code was printed out. I took this paper, moved to the front of the tent, submitted it, waited for a while, and soon the order came.

The prosecutor entered the tent, placed him in a seat, opened his mouth, and put a cotton swab in his mouth. The test ended with two or three scans of the inner part of the tongue. There was no pain. It didn’t cost anything.

They are waiting in line to receive a full corona 19 test in Wangjing, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China.

On the other hand, some complexes said that foreigners can also make reservations.

According to an announcement by the China National Hygiene and Health Commission on the 26th, there were 20 corona19 confirmed cases reported across China on the 25th day, of which 8 were cases in the mainland. Two out of eight came from Beijing. In Korea, 19 asymptomatic infections were reported, 17 cases from overseas and 2 cases from the mainland.
