Having been well protected, the medical staff took pharyngeal swabs, recorded and registered, maintained order, patiently explained one by one...The weather was fine today with an occasional breeze blowing, however, the medical staff, sweating in their impenetrable protective suits, stood their ground. On the scene, nurses in charge of collection and volunteers were well connected and efficiently completed the collection task. Nurses were fighting to the end to reduce the cost of protective clothing and other supplies. The site was carried out in an orderly and efficient manner, and a total of 1003 persons were collected on that day.
