Beijing launched the operation of two mobile nucleic acid testing vehicles on June 28 in the city's Xicheng and Chaoyang districts to raise testing efficiency and improve the working environment for medical staff.

As the two vehicles, which are from the Foton Motor Group, are put into use, residents in the capital can receive the tests conveniently near their communities or workplaces.

Each vehicle can provide space for four groups of medical staff to take samples at the same time. In addition to the medical facilities, each vehicle is equipped with a rest area where people cool off in air-conditioning and enjoy protection under sun-proof shades, which are welcomed by medical staff, as well as those who received the tests Sunday afternoon.
