On the evening of the 31st, Mr. Jiang, who was waiting in line in the park for nucleic acid testing, told the "Finance" reporter that he opened Weibo to know that he would do nucleic acid when he went out of the park. There are friends around him who are very anxious and worried about being infected, and he is more worried about whether he can get a taxi after going out, whether he can get on the subway, and whether he can go back to Chengdu tomorrow.
Another tourist said on Weibo that when nucleic acid had begun at the door, the people inside were still playing projects and did not know the situation outside.
