PHOTO GALLERY: A first-person view inside Beijing's coronavirus tests.
BEIJING — As the number of COVID-19 cases climbed in Beijing in recent days, officials identified more than 350,000 people who needed to be tested.After word first emerged of a cluster of cases at a sprawling wholesale market in the Chinese capital, I had gone to the area to take photographs. Although I never entered the Xinfadi market and only took photos from nearby streets, unknown to me, I had been flagged as a potential vector for the virus.
Several dozen people milled about at the meeting point, eyeing each other suspiciously and staying apart. A few wore multiple face masks on top of each other. After checking in, we were escorted to buses — one person per row. An official with a loudspeaker ordered people to spread out, but the size of the crowd and the length of the line led to people inching together.
Eventually I reached the front of the snaking line. A worker in full protective suit and face shield took my temperature and checked my Beijing Health Kit app. For months, scanning the app’s QR code and showing your results has been a constant of daily life in Beijing.
