Railway station checkpoints
Print Edition
HUNDREDS of volunteers, police and health officials in Jing’an have been sent to the Shanghai Railway Station to ensure everyone entering Jing’an is healthy.
The city government has strengthened monitoring of those entering Shanghai by taking the body temperature of all arrivals and registering them on a health app that tracks potential coronavirus patients.
Anyone suspected of infection is directly sent to hospitals or isolation sites for observation.
Shanghai Railway Station, a busy traffic hub in the downtown area, normally has daily passenger flows peaking at 54,000.
Nearly 400 volunteers have been sent to the three exits of the railway station to help people arriving in Shanghai scan a QR code and fill out a form registering their personal information and whether they have been to the city of Wuhan or the province of Hubei.
People who have reported their information need to show the verification message to railway officers to exit the station. Their information is relayed to local residential communities where their health will be further monitored.
Police are on duty at the three exits of the station 24 hours a day. They help healthy passengers connect with the Metro or buses, according to Xue Yanqing, a police officer at the railway station’s police office.
Inspection tents have been erected at the railways exits where medical workers from the Shanghai No. 4 Rehabilitation Hospital and four community clinics are on hand around the clock to measure body temperatures.
Those who show fever are sent to the district’s designated fever clinic at the Zhabei Central Hospital, according to Zhong Ling, deputy director of the district’s health commission.
