The new crown pneumonia epidemic has slowed down, and there are reports that the government intends to conduct regular virus tests on higher-risk groups such as taxi drivers. Wu Jinhua, the vice chairman of the Association for Promotion of Taxi Development, said on the TV and TV program this morning (18th) that he has not heard of the relevant plan, but the industry is willing to be tested every 14 days. Regarding the previous voluntary testing scheme for taxi drivers, only less than half of the drivers were tested. Wu Jinhua said that the authorities need to increase incentives. If the government introduces a health code to enter and exit the mainland in the future, it will allow drivers who have undergone testing to obtain the health code to pass the customs and attract drivers. .

The new crown pneumonia epidemic has slowed down, and there are reports that the government intends to conduct regular virus tests on higher-risk groups such as taxi drivers.

Wu Jinhua, the vice chairman of the Association for Promotion of Taxi Development, said on the TV and TV program this morning (18th) that he has not heard of the relevant plan, but the industry is willing to be tested every 14 days.

Regarding the previous voluntary testing scheme for taxi drivers, only less than half of the drivers were tested. Wu Jinhua said that the authorities need to increase incentives.

Wu Jinhua said on the TV and TV program "Millenniums" this morning that the government has not yet received news that the government will recommend regular testing for taxi drivers, but has discussed with other taxi groups that they are generally willing to be tested every 14 days.

He also said that some drivers have experience leaving deep throat saliva samples, which is not difficult.

Before the government introduced a free voluntary testing program to the transportation industry, taxi drivers were the first to be tested, but in the end only about 14,000 drivers were tested, accounting for less than half of active drivers.

Wu Jinhua said that after the test, the driver would not receive any notice if the result was negative, which made many drivers feel uneasy.

He suggested that the government can increase the incentives for testing. If the health code is introduced to enter and exit the mainland in the future, drivers who have undergone testing can be the first to obtain the health code to pass.

He continued that many drivers have family members in the Mainland, and he believes the measures can attract many drivers.

In addition, the Transport Department earlier launched the "Taxi Driver Anti-epidemic Test Brand". Drivers who have undergone a national test will receive a brand name as long as the result is negative.

However, Wu Jinhua said that the design is not ideal and the government has insufficient publicity. Many drivers have not seen the nameplate and do not know where to pick it up.

He said that if the government recommends regular testing to drivers, it can combine with the name-plate system to increase incentives, but drivers need to be allowed to put the nameplate in a prominent place.
