Wuhan: Wuhan, the capital of China’s Hubei province where the COVID-19 pandemic originated last December, will arrange nucleic acid tests for all residents who have not been tested before, in order to better know the number of asymptomatic cases of the novel coronavirus.

The decision was made as the city continued to report daily increases of asymptomatic infections, which raised concerns among the public, reports Xinhua news agency.

Previously, the city of about 10 million people had completed over 3 million nucleic acid tests. The upcoming testing will give priority to residential compounds that had previously reported infections, as well as old and densely populated buildings.

Testing agencies will send teams into targeted areas to get the samples, instead of asking residents to visit hospitals. (IANS)
