On May 7, 2020, the Chinese State Council Cooperation Mechanism on Joint Prevention and Control of COVID-19 (\u570b\u52d9\u9662\u806f\u9632\u806f\u63a7\u6a5f\u5236) issued the <em>Guiding Opinions on Routinizing COVID-19 Prevention and Control Work <\/em>(\u95dc\u65bc\u505a\u597d\u65b0\u51a0\u80ba\u708e\u75ab\u60c5\u5e38\u614b\u5316\u9632\u63a7\u5de5\u4f5c\u7684\u6307\u5c0e\u610f\u898b).<sup>[<a href=\"#posts-footnotes\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#posts-footnotes\">1<\/a>]<\/sup> How has the new normal been constructed during the routinized prevention? &nbsp;How have everyday lives been organized and navigated in the new normal of time and space? What technologies and strategies have been adopted to cope with these challenges and enable a return to our daily routines?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong><strong><strong>Wuhan Citywide COVID-19 Testing: The \u201cReturn\u201d to Society<\/strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">In early May 2020, one month after the end of the Wuhan lockdown, a small community outbreak broke out in Wuhan\u2019s Dongxihu District. On May 12, 2020, the Wuhan government released the \u201c<em>Emergent Notice on City-wide New Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Test Screening<\/em>\u201d (\u95dc\u65bc\u958b\u5c55\u5168\u5e02\u65b0\u51a0\u75c5\u6bd2\u6838\u9178\u7be9\u67e5\u7684\u7dca\u6025\u901a\u77e5). In response to this notice, a \u201cten-day battle\u201d to test everyone for COVID-19 was set in motion. As of June 1, Wuhan has tested almost 10 million residents, and has reported a total of 300 asymptomatic cases. Although many residents have supported the screening, some have been concerned about the effectiveness of such a costly project. Many have also expressed their fear of being exposed to the virus through contact during testing. One of the primary concerns is nucleic acid test\u2019s diagnostic accuracy. Although nucleic acid test is the \u201cgold standard\u201d for COVID-19 diagnosis, many people have had terrifying memories of false-negative results that were prevalent in the early stages of the outbreak. Thus, they have questioned whether the citywide test can screen out asymptomatic carriers, especially under such a short time frame. Others have questioned that even if the test can identify asymptomatic carriers, to what extent can it prevent another epidemic. In other words, is it necessary to conduct such a large-scale screening?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Several public health experts have also questioned the \u201cscientificity\u201d of the battle, and suggested that the Wuhan government should make the decision based on more scientific methods such as statistical sampling.<sup>[<a href=\"#posts-footnotes\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#posts-footnotes\">2<\/a>]<\/sup> However, as Zhang Wenhong, head of Shanghai\u2019s COVID-19 clinical expert team has suggested, citywide testing is not only to fulfill a medical need but also for social demands.<sup>[<a href=\"#posts-footnotes\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#posts-footnotes\">3<\/a>]<\/sup> The city of Wuhan and its residents have suffered from fear, anxiety, anger, hopelessness, grief, and isolation. Although the slogan \u201cGo Wuhan!\u201d is ubiquitous and Wuhan\u2019s residents have been praised for their sacrifices, they have still suffered stigmatization from being associated with the novel coronavirus and its related risks. Indeed, due to the existence of asymptomatic cases, everybody is a potential carrier. The end of the lockdown on April 8, 2020 has not stopped the social exclusion, discrimination, fear, or anxiety\u2014there are still many barriers to Wuhan residents\u2019 resuming their daily routines. A mutually recognized social end to the epidemic, and a mutually recognized social restart are needed for the return and rebuilding of everyday lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The citywide testing helped to address individual psychological demands for confidence and trust. After receiving their testing results, many Wuhan residents would share them on their WeChat Moments or neighborhood or work WeChat groups. Many people considered taking the test to be a responsibility for the safety of both themselves and their peers. The test results have functioned as a health code to show that it is safe for them to socialize and to return to their regular community lives. Thus, sharing the results has also become a \u201critual\u201d that signifies an end of the chaotic past and a refreshing new start. The new start is also crucial for Wuhan as a whole. Citywide testing in Wuhan has reassured residents, and those in other areas, that the city is safe and that there is no reason for social fear or prejudice. As Wuhan Deputy Mayor Hu Yabo said, \u201cThe screening has reassured people all over the country (that Wuhan is safe). The cost is well worth it\u2026the success of this screening has displayed once again the heroism of the city and its residents.\u201d<sup>[<a href=\"#posts-footnotes\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#posts-footnotes\">4<\/a>]<\/sup> After the screening, this hero city is ready to return and move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">By providing free tests for all, the city-wide screening also contributes to a mutually recognized social end to the epidemic by displaying that the government has followed the governing philosophy of \u201cpeople first\u201d, and has taken responsibility and care for its people. At the same time, the government has also sent a message to the international community that China has exerted unremitting effort and has made enormous achievements in conquering the outbreak. As China\u2019s leading epidemiologist Li Lanjuan has said, \u201cWuhan\u2019s nucleic acid test has covered almost the entire city, (which has been) a huge and rare (success), even on the global scale. The result of the citywide testing will play an important role in guiding epidemic prevention and control, in both China and across the globe.\u201d<sup>[<a href=\"#posts-footnotes\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#posts-footnotes\">5<\/a>]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The medical, psychological, and political effects of the test have legitimized a mutually recognized social end to the epidemic. In turn, this has facilitated calls to restart the economy. As the epidemic has eased, economic recovery has become the priority. Many have agreed that the battle against the epidemic cannot be considered a complete success until the economy has resumed. Although there are many concerns about the effectiveness of the citywide COVID-19 testing, the test has provided a scientific basis for legitimizing routinized epidemic prevention and economic recovery-related policies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Returns to normalcy and society are difficult for individuals, the city, and the country as a whole. Wuhan\u2019s \u201cten-day battle\u201d is not merely a fight to screen out potential virus carriers or an epidemiological investigation. The mass COVID-19 testing has also been an attempt to fulfil the social, psychological, political, and economic demands of returning to normalcy, returning to productive lives, and rebuilding daily routines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Wearing (or Not) Masks: The Sustaining of Normalcy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The citywide COVID-19 testing has revealed the power of transition in facilitating return to ordinary routines. Another \u201ceveryday technology\u201d, masks, has played an important role in living with the virus and allowing daily routines to persist. Before the COVID-19 outbreak, debates over masks were absent from the discourse of daily routines. Wearing a mask might indicate that an individual was sick, but sickness like cold or flu was an established component of our daily lives. Also, in many locales, mask-wearing had already become ordinary after various public health crises. For example, in Northern China, such as in Beijing, toxic smog, has led to people stocking masks in their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/17-covid-testing-and-mask-wearing-01-covid-fig-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2027\" width=\"803\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/17-covid-testing-and-mask-wearing-01-covid-fig-3-1.jpg 1070w, https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/17-covid-testing-and-mask-wearing-01-covid-fig-3-1-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/17-covid-testing-and-mask-wearing-01-covid-fig-3-1-1024x543.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/17-covid-testing-and-mask-wearing-01-covid-fig-3-1-768x407.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fig. 3 &nbsp;An ordinary winter day in Beijing.

In some places, people wearing masks are viewed as a threat and a source of infection. In others, such as China and many other Asian countries, wearing masks has already become normative. Not wearing masks has been viewed as irresponsible behavior, and has even been subjected to moral censure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/17-covid-testing-and-mask-wearing-01-covid-fig-4-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2028\" width=\"803\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/17-covid-testing-and-mask-wearing-01-covid-fig-4-1.png 1070w, https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/17-covid-testing-and-mask-wearing-01-covid-fig-4-1-300x70.png 300w, https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/17-covid-testing-and-mask-wearing-01-covid-fig-4-1-1024x238.png 1024w, https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/17-covid-testing-and-mask-wearing-01-covid-fig-4-1-768x179.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fig. 4 &nbsp;Passengers are required to wear mask in public transport carrier in Hong Kong.

Yet as mask-wearing has already become a social and moral norm, removing them is no longer an individual decision. People need to wait for a morally and socially recognized time, which is often endorsed by experts\u2019 suggestions or official announcements. For example, the State Council Cooperation Mechanism on Joint Prevention and Control of COVID-19 issued an updated version of \u201cScientific Guidance on Wearing Masks\u201d (\u95dc\u65bc\u5370\u767c\u516c\u773e\u79d1\u5b78\u6234\u53e3\u7f69\u6307\u5f15\u4fee\u8a02\u7248) on May 26, 2020.

However, the COVID-19 outbreak has changed much of what we perceived as normal. We have developed new norms and techniques which have enabled us to cope with the public health crisis, and continue with our daily routines to stay healthy and safe. These technologies have enabled the resumption of our daily routines. However, these coping technologies have been routinized, and now define the new \u201cnormal\u201d. Indeed, the routinization of one domain of everyday life can affect other domains by obscuring the boundaries between public and private, public health and public security, governance and surveillance. Debates over these issues challenge the rebuilding of everyday life, and perceptions of the social end of the epidemic in the post-epidemic world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Footnotes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol id=\"posts-footnotes\">\n<li>Chinese State Council Cooperation Mechanism on Joint Prevention and Control of COVID-19 \u570b\u52d9\u9662\u806f\u9632\u806f\u63a7\u6a5f\u5236, <em>\u201cGuanyu zuo hao xinguan feiyan yiqing changtaihua fangkong gongzuo de zhidao yijian\u201d <\/em>\u95dc\u65bc\u505a\u597d\u65b0\u51a0\u80ba\u708e\u75ab\u60c5\u5e38\u614b\u5316\u9632\u63a7\u5de5\u4f5c\u7684\u6307\u5c0e\u610f\u898b [Guiding Opinions on Routinizing COVID-19 Prevention and Control Work], May 8, 2020, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gov.cn\/zhengce\/content\/2020-05\/08\/content_5509896.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;http:\/\/www.gov.cn\/zhengce\/content\/2020<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gov.cn\/zhengce\/content\/2020-05\/08\/content_5509896.htm\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gov.cn\/zhengce\/content\/2020-05\/08\/content_5509896.htm\">05\/08\/content_5509896.htm.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tang Peilan \u6e6f\u4f69\u862d, \u201cWuhan quanmin hesuan jiance, ranhou ne?
