A school took swab samples from students before allowing them into classrooms. Companies, schools and individuals across China are lining up to be tested for the virus as the country rises back to normal life after largely taming the epidemic. Where most testing had previously focused on those with symptoms, especially in the central city of Wuhan where the virus first emerged, demand is now soaring across China. Samples were taken from students on the playground as they stood 1.5 meters (5 feet) apart from each other. “Although the epidemic in China has now been effectively controlled, we still have some concerns,” said high school senior Tao Xiaxin.
