On The Way
I got up at five in the morning. After breakfast, I checked in and waited the plane to fly. I arrived in Guangzhou at 11 a.m., then all the passengers needed to take the nucleic acid testing. It took me about 40 minutes. Then, I took the subway to have lunch. I went to the railway station at 1 o'clock. I left at half past two and arrived at the adjacent town at half past four. I got several calls from the government because I had been to Beijing which was in risk. My friend came to the station to pick me up. He was busy, so he asked me to drive. I arrived at home at 20 to six.
I didn't sleep well last night, so I was very tired all day long. At night, I had to wait for the local officers and doctor to take another nucleic acid testing. I told them I had taken a test in the morning though. They asked me not to work until the result came out. So I am free tomorrow, but I will be busy next week because I own the other teachers 3 classes.
Correction Settings
After breakfast, I checked in and waited the plane to flyfor my flight.
After breakfast, I checked in and waited for my flight.
The first part is correct. After "waited", you should use a connector word, probably either "for" or "on". After the connector word, it is natural to say either "my flight", "the flight", or possibly "the plane". So you could say "waited on my flight", or "waited on the plane"
I left at half past two and arrived at the adjacennext town at half past four.
I left at half past two and arrived at the next town at half past four.
What you wrote is correct, but not the most natural way to say it. It sounds more natural to say "the next town"
I got several calls from the government because I had been to Beijing, which was in riskunder a high risk alert.
I got several calls from the government because I had been to Beijing, which was under a high risk alert.
There are several ways to say that a city has high risk, which mean different things. If it's always higher risk, you could say "which was a high risk area". If the risk changes over time and is high right now, you could say "which was under a high risk alert". In any case, there should be a comma before "which"
At night, I had to wait for the local officers and doctor to takgive me another nucleic acid testing.
At night, I had to wait for the local officers and doctor to give me another nucleic acid test.
"take" implies that the officers and doctor were the ones being tested. The doctor and officers would give the test. "test" is the correct noun here, rather than "testing" (nouns ending in -ing are usually for the abstract concept, rather than a specific instance)
I told them I had taken a test in the morning, though. I told them I had taken a test in the morning, though.
In this case there should be a comma before "though", though it is common for native speakers to forget this as well
They asked me not to work until the result came out, so I am free tomorrow but .... They asked me not to work until the result came out, so I am free tomorrow but ....
The next sentence would probably be combined with this one. "so" is a connector word and would usually not begin its own sentence.
SoAs a result, I am free tomorrow, but I will be busy next week because I ownam covering the other teacher's 3 classes.

"own" for classes is understandable, but slightly unusual. It implies that you are in control of those classes in an ongoing or permanent way. I'm guessing that you are only temporarily in charge of those classes, in which case it would be more natural to say that you are "covering" them.
Feedback
This is altogether very clear and easy to read. I tried to provide helpful notes, but it didn't need much correction. Well done!
