NANJING, July 27 (Xinhua) -- The eastern Chinese city of Nanjing has launched its second all-inclusive nucleic acid testing campaign and urged residents not to leave the city unless necessary.
Recently, a nucleic acid test laboratory named Lieying, meaning Falcon, was established at the Nanjing Railway Station. It is running around the clock to shorten the waiting time of passengers at the railway station, testing up to 6,000 samples a day.

Meanwhile, Nanjing is building six air-inflated labs to improve its nucleic acid testing capabilities after the recent resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the city. Nanjing started building the six "Falcon" testing labs on Sunday. Three of the labs went into operation on Monday morning, and the others will be completed by the end of Tuesday.
When all six labs are in use, 180,000 sample tubes can be tested daily, and if mixed sample tests are carried out, 1.8 million people can be screened every day.
