Half of Beijing's resident population tested for COVID-19

Beijing has tested 11.88 million people for COVID-19 from June 11 to July 14, accounting for half of the city's resident population. The Chinese capital responded swiftly after the first case in a cluster outbreak was reported on June 11. Through nucleic acid test screening Beijing has detected 53.8 percent of the COVID-19 cases, which played a huge part in getting the outbreak effectively contained.

11.88 million in a month, pretty impressive, I m not being tested though.

I know my wife has tested COVID-19 several times,including she travelled back from Thailand in March, and repeatedly tested several times as requested by the authority whenever she travelled out of Beijing and returned to Beijing.

But I have not tested, neither does any of my parents, so the test in Beijing is on-demand test.
