The fixed testingsites have already been set up at about 200 local hospitals and medicalinstitutes, while the convenient testing sites resemble streetside newspaperbooths. The mobile sites will be similar to breakfast carts, which can bequickly set up in response to any emergency situation.

固定采样点以全市现有约200个医疗机构为主，便民采样点主要是借鉴"书报亭"等形式设置，流动采样点主要是借鉴"早餐车"的形式，采取包括设置采样方舱，移动采样车等形式提高机动性、流动性，为临时新增采样需求提供快速响应服务。

These additionaltesting sites will be mainly set up in local communities, Metro and busstations, as well as places with good ventilation【通风】 near industrial parks in centralbusiness districts, campuses, supermarkets and drugstores.

Starting today,delivery staff are required to scan their real-time health code to do a PCRtest. Shanghai issued an "electronic pass" to each delivery staffthat includes the PCR test report and health code based on the "whitelists" of both courier companies and delivery employees. As their workcertificates, the electronic passes will display the staff's PCR test reportwithin 48 hours and their health code.

从今天开始，在骑手的核酸检测中将采用动态的"随申码"进行身份验证和核酸检测的登记。根据"企业白名单"和"人员白名单"制发配送寄递人员的"电子通行证"。在这张"电子通行证"里展示48小时的核酸检测阴性证明和"健康码"绿码等信息作为配送基地人员上岗的必要条件和通行凭证。

Local authoritiesrequire each delivery driver to do two antigen self-tests a day, followed by aPCR test and another antigen test on the next day. Anyone concealing an antigentest result or working after knowingly being infected with coronavirus willface legal punishment.

政府要求每个骑手每天进行两次抗原检测，第二天再做一次核酸检测和一次抗原检测，隐瞒抗原检测结果或知道自己被感染后仍继续工作都将面临法律惩罚。
