　　With the development of the epidemic situation in Beijing, Covid-19 nucleic acid testing has seen a surge in demand, and community specimen sampling is under great pressure. Dongzhimen Hospital immediately set up the first batch of nucleic acid sampling team, and then the second batch. The staff of all departments responded positively, and finally formed a team of 30 people from clinical medicine, medical technology and administrative department. The epidemic is the order and the white shirt is the battle robe. On June 22, after receiving the nucleic acid sampling task issued by Dongcheng District Health Commission, the Medical Department quickly completed the organization and retraining work. Based on the experience of the first nucleic acid sampling medical team, the on-site experience was compiled and distributed to each member of the second group, laying a foundation for the successful completion of nucleic acid sampling task. 

　　At 4pm, the mobilization meeting of the second batch of medical team kicked off. Lin Qian, the vice president, Zheng Hong, the deputy director of the Medical Department, affirmed the smooth completion of the first batch of medical team, and hoped that the next team members would make continuous efforts to carry forward the great significance of nucleic acid sampling work, at the same time, they emphasized the importance of personal protection during nucleic acid sampling, especially in summer, it was the most important to prevent heat from cooling and ensure the life safety of every team member. On behalf of the hospital, Vice President Lin Qian wished the second batch of team members a successful return.

　　Under the comprehensive consideration of Zheng Hong and Wang Tiefeng of the  Medical Department, Tian Runxi of the Nurse Department, Group Leader Yan Zhanfeng and Vice Group Leader Fu Jingna, based on the use of materials of the first nucleic acid sampling team, the list of materials and drugs for this task was formulated, and the Materials Supply Department completed the distribution. All departments and offices of the hospital were fully prepared for the re-deployment of nucleic acid testing work, ensuring that the sampling process was standard, efficient and protected in place.

　　At 7:30am of June 23, according to the requirements of the superiors, 10 members of the second group arrived at the two sampling sites of Longtan Community and 179 Middle School on time. Dongzhimen Hospital and Gulou Hospital jointly completed the sampling work. 

　　After arriving at sampling points of the Longtan Community and 179 Middle School, Zheng Hong of the Medical Department immediately connected with the person in charge of Gulou Hospital and community workers in the area respectively and formed a unified work flow, and then quickly completed the inventory of materials and field work area distribution, and led all the team members to carry out the drill of putting on and taking off protective clothing and nucleic acid sampling process again, which successfully started the all-day nucleic acid sampling work of the second group of Dongzhimen Hospital.

　　The first group, Longtan Community sampling site:

　　Based on the valuable experience of the first batch of team members, the team members were soon in a state of readiness, fully armed and concentrated in the scorching sun. Under the guidance of Director Yan Zhanfeng, the sampling work was carried out in an orderly manner. The two groups of members took turns to play and maintained a tacit understanding.

　　In the afternoon, the temperature was rising. Exposed to the hot sun, the staff still held on their posts. When they took off the protective clothing, clothes have been completely soaked, hands were wrinkled by sweat. However, without any complaints, they seized the rest time to keep their own physical strength in a good state to lighten the load for their teammates. The action of team members proved the original intention of medical staff and the spirit of Dongzhimen Hospital.

　　The residents who were tested on the spot showed positive cooperation with the testing work. In the hot summer, the residents formed an orderly queue and consciously cooperated with the requirements of the staff. Thank you for your hard work. At 5pm, the sampling work of Longtan Street community was basically completed, with nearly 3000 persons tested.

　　Although the team members might not know each other before today, after a day of joint struggle, they had formed a deep friendship between each other. The virus has no emotion but people do. The mission let us gather together and the staff of Dongzhimen are always ready to contribute their own strength for Beijing.

　　The second group, 179 Middle School sampling site:

　　At 7 am, nearby residents began lining up at the sampling site. Under the command of Group Leader Fu Jingna, the team members completed the preparation work before sampling at the fastest speed, and immediately put into nucleic acid testing work, launched 12 synchronous sampling windows with colleagues in Gulou Hospital. The site was orderly, with an increasing number of screening residents waiting for screening in an orderly way. All the team members went into the field in strict accordance with the nucleic acid throat swab collection process, at the same time, to ensure one person for one disinfection, the sampling environment ensured that the alcohol was sprayed out. The spraying disinfection of residents' queues and the outside ground greatly alleviated the anxiety and tension of screening residents and promoted the screening work quickly and smoothly.

　　At noon, the sun shone brightly. After a short rest, the team members went into the battle again and continued to participate in the next stage of screening work. In order to reduce the waiting time of the screening residents in the field, Group Leader Fu Jingna actively communicated with the community sub-district office to simplify the process. Meanwhile, the team members cooperated effectively with their colleagues in Gulou Hospital, which greatly improved the screening speed. On June 23, the second sampling site of 179 High school finally completed the nucleic acid sampling work of nearly 3,000 persons. The achievements were due to hard work of team members who were touched by the Child's bow in gratitude, the praise of the elders with tears, and the mutual encouragement of the colleagues in the hospital. All of us twisted our hearts into a rope, connecting the feelings of our comrades in arms who jointly protected our homeland.

　　Up to now, 10 members of the second emergency medical team have completed the two tasks assigned by their superiors with high quality. The remaining members of the second emergency medical team are also ready for orders at any time. In the face of the epidemic, the people of Dongzhimen Hospital are racing against time, taking the lead in precise organization, and escorting the health and life safety of the people with a high sense of responsibility and mission, contributing to the overall victory of epidemic prevention and control at an early date.
