Sanitation of the surrounding roads was also strictly monitored. Traffic on the road could be resumed after all the tests were completed on the day.
Daily cleaning and reducing the retention of waste. In order to ensure that the waste is cleared daily and the virus transmission is effectively blocked, the cleaning management office, after vehicle disinfection and personal protection, strictly followed the schedule to start operation on time to ensure that the wastes are accurately classified, collected and cleared daily. For waste collection points in areas with more commercial blocks, hotels and markets, collection and inspection frequency would be increased to strengthen the cleaning of the surroundings.
