(Yicai Global) June 29 -- Beijing put two special purpose buses into operation yesterday to boost the efficiency of coronavirus nucleic acid testing and improve the working environment for medical staff.

Each vehicle has an information registration window and four windows for tests, as well as retractable sunshades on both sides.

“The sampling process can be completed in 30 seconds,” said Zhang Kehong, executive vice president of Beijing Zhanlanlu Hospital. “A window can test about 100 people in an hour, if all goes well.”
