During this week-long program, close to 1,000 facilities will provide vaccinations for local people. Social distancing will be strictly observed to ensure safety during the inoculations and prevent SARS-CoV-2 infections. Therefore, some 200 people will get vaccinated a day at each facility. The city is hoping to complete its inoculation program before June 27.

He thanked people from all walks of life for their support with local departments and relevant forces in exercising social distancing measures and strictly observing COVID-19 prevention and control regulations.
