A temporary nucleic acid test site in the parking lot of Shanghai Pudong International Airport after the emergence of a new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Shanghai November 22, 2020.
After the recent diagnosis of an employee at Pudong International Airport, authorities closed the airport for a period of time and conducted nucleic acid tests on all personnel.
Authorities closed the airport for a period of time to conduct nucleic acid tests on all personnel. The Shanghai authorities announced in the early morning hours of Monday (23) that the Pudong Airport had organized nucleic acid tests for all relevant personnel late Sunday night. The Shanghai Municipal Government Information Office’s WeChat public number “Shanghai Press Release” said that all personnel in the cargo terminal and cargo area of Pudong Airport took the nucleic acid test late at night on the 22nd, which was held at the airport’s P4 parking lot AB building. That night, many netizens uploaded videos of the closed Pudong Airport, and the filmmakers said that a large number of passengers were stranded at the airport because of the chaotic situation when airport personnel had to be tested.
The nucleic acid tests conducted at the airport also covered all airport personnel in the First Supervisory Zone, West Cargo Zone and East Cargo Zone. The airport authorities have also asked that the nucleic acid tests for these personnel be completed by 24:00 AM. A netizen said in the video, “Can’t come, sealed, sealed ……”. Inside the airport, staff in protective suits pushed large numbers of people inside to prevent them from going out, and the scene was crowded with calls, with people collapsing from physical exertion: “Fallen, someone has passed out, fallen, carried out.”
On Sunday, the Shanghai Health Commission announced that there was a new case of a locally diagnosed case that day. The patient, who usually lives in Pudong New Area, was an airport cargo terminal colleague of Wu, who was diagnosed the day before (November 20). From November 9th to 22nd, there have been 5 confirmed cases of workers at Shanghai Pudong Airport, and 7 cases of Pudong Airport-related cases if their infected spouses are included. As a result, all employees of Pudong International Airport were forced to concentrate on nucleic acid testing and the airport was closed for several hours.
Some areas of Pudong are classified as medium risk.
Ms. Mao, a Shanghai resident, said that the epidemic is basically coming out of Pudong Airport and that people are being very careful: “I heard that the virus is being spread from the Pudong Airport by foreigners entering the city, so people in the vicinity of Pudong have to be careful because the new coronary pneumonia is scary. Everyone wears masks, and if you get infected, you can’t go up economically. Pudong Kangqiao Station, you have to take your temperature when you enter the neighborhood.”
One of the diagnosed couples announced by authorities this Sunday was a nurse who worked at Pudong Hospital, which was also closed to centralized nucleic acid testing. In addition, the 126 Lane Shunhe Road neighborhood in Pudong’s Zhangjiang Township was upgraded to a medium-risk area, and residents are not allowed to leave Shanghai.
Recently, five patients were diagnosed in Anhui and Shanghai, and the chain of infection was directed to the Shanghai Pudong International Airport. For the recent resurgence of pneumonia in Wuhan, a Wuhan rights activist said to the station that the number of newly diagnosed patients has never stopped, but is being hidden from the public.
New coronavirus infection is widespread and asymptomatic
The newest member of the family of the Wuhan patient, Zhang Hai, said to the station that many people are relapsing: “This virus so far, he has no effective drugs to cure, often said the so-called cure, who can guarantee, especially now winter is coming, is the season of the outbreak of respiratory infectious diseases. The new crown is airborne, and many people are not really cured.”
Zhang Hai, who vowed to hold the Wuhan government accountable, has been concerned about the spread of the new crown epidemic for more than ten months. He said that the new crown epidemic has been dragging on for a long time, and he believes that it is related to the mutation of the virus: “In the end, it was the local government of Wuhan that led to a series of serious consequences. So I’ve been pursuing the blame, and I’ve been speaking out.”
