Portable inflated laboratories Huo-Yan Labs have been built in a stadium in Shijiazhuang, North China's Hebei province, within a 10-hour time frame to help improve the city's ability to conduct nucleic acid tests for COVID-19.

Provided by BGI Genomics, a Shenzhen-based biotech company, the facility can finish 1 million nucleic acid tests for COVID-19 each day.

These laboratories will help the city, which has a population of 11 million, carry out citywide nucleic acid testing quicker.
