On July 22th, 2020 Dalian, China detected one comfirmed coronavirus patient who did not have travel history, he was infected from his factory which imported seafood. The next day the city started to do the free coronavirus test street by street to find out how many people were in close contact with the first patient were infected and placed them in hospital for quarantine and treatment. This was a picture taken when I was lining up for the covid-19 test. It touched me that doctors and volunteers from nationwide gathered immediately and risking their health to help and protect us.
