Notice from the Sanya Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters

On November 4th, the Sanya Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters issued a notice on carrying out regional nucleic acid testing.

All residents and tourists in Sanya City will undergo nucleic acid testing today, November 5th.

2. All residents and tourists within the jurisdiction of Sanya City.

3. Detection site: nucleic acid sampling points have been added to each community for convenience (kiosks).

Follow up requirements: Starting from November 2022, residents and tourists will be required to conduct nucleic acid tests every 3 days, (practitioners in risk industries such as supermarkets, express delivery, hotels, hospitals and clinics, farmers’ markets, public transport and other risk industries shall carry out nucleic acid detection according to the prescribed frequency, and the implementation shall be supervised by the main departments of each industry).
