China’s Wuhan city administration plans to conduct a test of the entire population after new weeks of COVID-19-related cases surfaced amidst a worldwide coronavirus epidemic. Official media quoting the official note said on Tuesday that the authorities have been asked to submit the schemes by Tuesday afternoon so that nucleic acid test can be done on all citizens of the city with a population of 10 million.
Although it is not clear in the official note when the testing will begin, it has been said, “Every district will have to plan, arrange nucleic acid tests of the entire population of its area within a 10-day deadline …”
New cases of COVID-19 infection have recently been reported in Wuhan city, which opened only after a 76-day lockdown on April 8, and after this, a plan to test the entire population is planned. In fact, on Sunday and Monday, six new cases were reported from a residential complex located in Dongjihu district.
But an official from the Office of Disaster Prevention and Control Command of Dongjihu district told news agency AFP that he had not received any such ‘news of any notice …’
China had almost overcome the virus and the epidemic, but after opening the lockdown and ending the restrictions all over the country, new cases of infection have come up. By the way, virus clusters have also been reported in the northeastern Jilin and Heilongjiang districts adjoining Russia in recent weeks.
Coronavirus has spread all over the world, so China has banned the entry of most foreigners into the country. By the way, since the first case surfaced in December, 3,869 people have died from COVID-19 in Wuhan.
