Early on the morning of Aug. 14, we were notified by the Guangdong provincial health commission that an employee of the Shuibei Hema Fresh Food Supermarket in Lufeng, Shanwei city, Guangdong province, was confirmed to have been infected with the new coronavirus. Shenzhen immediately carried out epidemiological surveys and probed potential risks.  As a result, two other symptomless employees of the supermarket tested positive for the virus.

According to regulations on pandemic prevention and control, all residents who had visited the supermarket since July 24 have been required to receive a free nucleic test for the new coronavirus. It is hoped that residents will be cooperative and strengthen their personal daily protection. If anyone feels any discomfort, they should seek treatment at the closest fever clinic as soon as possible.

Residents can have test samples taken at a sample-taking center   at the north gate of the supermarket (from 9 am to 18 pm), at the fever clinic of Luohu People's Hospital (around the clock) or at the fever clinic of the Luohu Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (around the clock) from Aug. 15-17.
