The reporter went to the West District Community Center, one of the 11 receiving locations of the "Pregnancy Test Program", to observe today (10th) and found that there was no queuing. From 9 am to 10:30 am, only 3 pregnant women and their families received Sample bottle.
The staff of Renji Hospital stated that 90 throat swab sample kits will be prepared for distribution every day, which will be provided and tested by the Huasheng Diagnostic Center. If the distribution is completed, the Huasheng Diagnostic Center will deliver a supplement. For the first day of the plan, only a small number of citizens received it, and the staff thought it might be related to insufficient publicity.

Pregnant women said the government's publicity plan was insufficient
Ms. Hu, who did not want to show her face and was 7 months pregnant, arrived alone at 9:30. She bluntly said that there was no queue, saying that she had learned the news from the news, but believed that the propaganda was insufficient. However, she was satisfied with the arrangement of the authorities, stating that the process of collecting the sample bottles is smooth and takes about 30 seconds. You only need to show the follow-up card and receive the sample bottles, and the staff in protective clothing will also explain the usage.
Regarding the test method changed from deep throat saliva to throat swab in the past, she said that she would follow the steps to obtain samples, not worrying about inaccurate test results. She continued that pregnant women are a high-risk group and the plan can make them feel at ease. She also intends to participate in voluntary testing for all in a few weeks, because there is still a chance of infection before delivery, so as to seek double protection. "The government has said that there are voluntary tests in a row. It's free, but I have to do it many times!"
