CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Since September 12, Chongqing has started rounds of regular nucleic acid testing in the downtown area, and citizens need to receive a nucleic acid test every 7 days. According to the latest adjustment, there will be a delay of 24 hours in giving an orange pop-up window to others who haven’t receive any nucleic acid test within 7 days.

For example, if you complete a nucleic acid sample on Thursday, 22nd of this week at 09:00 hours, you will not be popped up for the next 7 days, i.e. 7 x 24 hours.

How does this delay work exactly? Let’s take an example:

Let’s say you completed a nuclei acid test at 9:00 on September 22, so you would not be given an orange pop-up window within the following 7 days (7*24hours).

Before the adjustment was made, you would had been given a pop-up window immediately after 7 days if you didn’t receive the second nucleic acid test. Therefore, to avoid being given a pop-up window, you need to receive a test for the second time on September 28 at the latest.

Now the adjustment has been made, and you can complete a second time nuclei acid test on September 29. But if you do not receive a test before September 30, you will be given a pop-up window.

If you are still confused about the adjustment, please remember: keep receiving a nuclei acid test on the same day of every week; you will be given an orange pop-up window if you do not complete a test within 8 days. (Translated by Cai Xinyu, Fathom Language Limited)
