A provincial sports meeting was opened in my city, which led to a large number of people from various cities coming this town where I live. As a result, there was one person diagnosed as positive in the area.

In order to prevent the virus spreading further, the government required many students and workers to stay at home through carrying out distant studying and working from home. These measures restricted our freedom, which is disappointing.

Everyone living in the city must do nucleic acid testing which is free every day from the date of November 7th. Today, I saw many students wearing their pajamas go downstairs to do the nucleic acid testing. Obviously, many of them regard this period as vacation time.

Any test that checks for DNA from a germ (like a virus or infection) can be called a PCR test. In everyday speech, at least in the United States, we just call it a "test" - for example "I'm feeling sick, so I'd better get a COVID test", or "I'd better get tested for COVID". But if you want to specify what kind of test, PCR test is what we call it.
