The Centre says that sampling in the above NAT stations have been performed in strict compliance with the anti-epidemic guidelines. At present, all the stations have been cleaned and disinfected and remain in operation. Citizens who went to get tested at the above locations and times need not worry, but should manage their own health properly, conduct rapid antigen self-test once within two days following their sampling and upload the test result to the designated platform. If feeling unwell, visit the emergency service of hospital for medical attention.
