On May 17, the community that had been under control for more than 20 days was unblocked, and people flocked to the neighborhood committee to unblock pop-up windows and get entry and exit permits. Gao Xueqiao, who works in the community, became busier.
However, compared with the busyness at the beginning of control, the busyness now seems much more orderly and relaxed. Most importantly, he can finally go home. Although his family is in this newly unblocked community, he hasn't been back for almost a month. The closest time to home was to go to the entrance of the building and change the clothes my parents had placed there.

Outing support for the control area, but its own community controlled the control area
On April 25, Songyuxili, Chaoyang District, Beijing was upgraded to a control area. When
received the news, Gao Xueqiao and another colleague were serving as support staff in the nearby Panjiayuan Dongli Community blockade building. This was their fourth day of support.
hurried back to Songyuxili, and large-scale nucleic acid screening has begun. The people who were in charge of the screening were support cadres from the street. The community neighborhood committee did not go out to support them, and almost all of them were quarantined at home.
A lot of work, two people waiting for the return, residents in pop-up windows are waiting for solutions, medical staff in nucleic acid test for need to deliver meals, elderly people in the community need to prescribe medicine, and phone ringtones that seem to never stop...
Several old party members took the initiative to find the community, Gao Xueqiao temporarily found two volunteers, and then started the service work in the control area in a hurry. After the control of
, the first major event was nucleic acid screening. There were nine testing points in the community, and the samples from each testing point were collected by Gao Xueqiao, and then sent to the designated location for inspection. It takes one to one and a half hours to walk, and three laps in half a day.

A lot of work is interspersed on the way to collect and send nucleic acid samples. Security guards are placed at various points in the control area, volunteers are recruited, volunteers are arranged, and materials are transported to the testing points... During the control period of
, Songyuxili was divided into 4 smaller areas. According to the original community staff, , there should be about 3 people in each area. But that day, they were the only two of them busy.
Gao Xueqiao no longer remembers the last thing he did that night, he only remembers it very late. Moreover, on that day, when he returned to his own community, he still couldn't go home, but was placed in a nearby hotel.

control area. In each circle,
0 At six o'clock every morning, Gao Xueqiao started his first work in the morning, picking medical staff to the sampling point, preparing nucleic acid sampling materials, and sending them to nine sampling points. He also needs to help medical staff and volunteers arrange sampling points. The time is only one hour, and sampling must start on time from one to seven o'clock.
The whole morning, Gao Xueqiao's work was in a circle of repeated cycles, delivering supplies, solving emergencies, collecting samples, sending inspections, and then starting the second circle.

The work in the circle will occasionally be broken. For example, if there is a situation at a certain point, Gao Xueqiao will interrupt the normal process, or if he encounters difficult problems in the neighborhood committee, he will return to the office. The most difficult thing to deal with is an emergency situation. For example, if someone has an emergency attack, he must go out for medical treatment. Severe tension will come to everyone. Every step of going out seems particularly long. A little later may cause an irreversible tragedy.
Fortunately, the service team has been expanding, and more and more personnel have joined the epidemic prevention service team, including volunteers, other community support personnel, street staff, sinking cadres... At the most, there were sixty or seventy people serving in the control area. As the only remaining community worker in the community, Gao Xueqiao is undoubtedly one of the most suitable coordinators.
Around 1 pm, the day's nucleic acid sampling is basically over, Gao Xueqiao still has the last lap to leave, he has to take a mobile sampling car around the community to check for omissions and fill in the gaps. Some people overslept and some people worked from home, which is the last chance of the day for residents who didn’t have time to do nucleic acid tests.
mobile vehicles are not moving fast, and they have prepared enough time for the residents who are staying at home upstairs so that they will not miss the test.
The closest time to home was to go to the entrance of the building to get clothes
As time goes by, the measures in the control area are getting more and more detailed, and the work is becoming more and more complicated.
In early May, the originally fragmented space in the community was cut open again, and isolation panels were built between the buildings, and three or five buildings were an independent area. Security guards must be arranged in each area, disinfection materials must be prepared, and shelves for receiving express delivery. The subdivided area of
brings more detailed but equally important work. How many spray cans should be used for disinfection, should you prepare a marker on the shelves, and rewrite the address for those couriers with blurred labels, so as to reduce the time for residents to search at the entrance of the building.
The most important thing is the nucleic acid in the household. The list only contains the address, as well as the distribution of the community buildings, the orientation of the units, etc. Only community workers are the most familiar with the floor situation. At the beginning, each family needed them to take medical staff to find them.
"At the most, I did nucleic acid for more than 100 households a day, so I couldn't delay other things." Gao Xueqiao said that in those two days, they were at the latest to be over 1 o'clock in the night.
Gao Xueqiao's home is in Songyuxili. Two years ago, he just entered the community and worked at his doorstep. But after the control, we cannot go back to our closest home. As a community worker, I work at sampling points, blocked buildings every day, and even collect and send nucleic acid samples every day. Going home is obviously a very risky thing.

The last time Gao Xueqiao came out of his home was on April 22. He went to a nearby community to provide support. After returning, he was unable to go home and stayed in a hotel where staff were placed.
When he went out, Gao Xueqiao didn't expect that he would not be able to go back, and did not bring any daily necessities, change of clothes, etc. It was not until many days after returning to the community that he walked downstairs for the first time. His parents put the changing clothes at the entrance of the building and Gao Xueqiao took them by himself. That was the closest time he had to home. Most of the time, he could only look at the lights at home through the fence. After the detailed control of the community in
, Gao Xueqiao's home is also in a smaller isolation area. The isolation board separates the inside and outside. The "Dabai" security guard is on duty day and night, and only materials and express delivery can enter.
community was finally unblocked, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief
On May 17, on the 25th day after Gao Xueqiao left home, Songyu Xili was unblocked. The community after
was unblocked, but there was more to do for community workers. Every resident must issue an entry and exit certificate, and those who have not unlocked the pop-up window of the Health Code must also be unlocked one by one.
A large number of residents who did not return to the community before the control have also begun to go home, and each of them has to check the nucleic acid records. Fortunately, the process has been sorted out and more people are serving in the community.
Nine nucleic acid sampling points are still retained. At each point, in addition to medical staff, there are at least one support cadre and three to six volunteers, as well as volunteers who buy medicine for residents and community workers who return after they are lifted from home. They allow the heavy work to be carried out in an orderly manner.

"After the lockdown, there was actually not much work, but the mood was different." Gao Xueqiao said that after saying goodbye to the tension and anxiety during the control period, both community workers and community residents, their moods have become much more relaxed. More importantly, many emergencies that were originally difficult to deal with can finally be resolved normally. The only thing that makes them nervous is the risk zones around that have not been unblocked yet.There are many elderly people in the community. If you don’t pay attention to it when you go out shopping, you may be close to those areas. There are also people who have resumed work and work. You may also pass through the risky areas, causing pop-ups of health codes and even bringing the epidemic back. Therefore, they should give careful advice to everyone who obtains an entry and exit permit and let them travel with caution.
On the evening of May 18, Gao Xueqiao returned home. After twenty-six days after leaving home, he slept in his bed again. "I didn't feel it when I went out. I only found out that I was sleeping soundly at home after I came back."
