What is mass testing for COVID-19: It’s been many months since the whole world is facing the most dangerous pandemic. The human race fights back against this by obeying cleanliness and social distancing.
Recently, a Chinese city named Mudanjiang in the province of Heilongjiang which is close to Russian borders.
The authority of the city ordered mass testing for COVID-19 for a population of 2.8 million. This city is the second after Wuhan (the first epicenter of the virus) to implement this type of check-up.
On Wednesday, China’s National Health Commission (NHC) reported one imported case in Guangdong Province. And the total number of cases in the country has reached to 83,027.
The government decided for checking up each resident in Mudanjiang mainly because, in the month of April and May, some Chinese residents traveled from Russia through the land border.
And the province of Heilongjiang is reported to have red hot zones for the infection. So, to control the spread, they decided for mass testing.
