China's capacity and efficiency for nucleic acid testing have been improved so infections can be tracked in a timelier manner and the dynamic zero-COVID policy can be more effectively implemented, the country's top health regulator said.

国家卫生健康委4月16日表示，中国开展核酸检测的能力和效率进一步提高，为及时发现感染者，实现“动态清零”提供有力保障。

The country's testing capacity has risen to 51.65 million samples a day. At present, 13,100 medical institutes are able to test samples and nearly 150,000 technicians are currently engaged in testing work, according to statistics released by the National Health Commission on Saturday.
国家卫健委发布的数据显示，截至目前，全国有1.31万家医疗卫生机构具备检测能力；检测能力达到5165万管/天；有近15万名技术人员从事新冠病毒核酸检测；

A total of 37 reagents used for testing samples have been approved and test results are generally issued within six hours, the commission said, adding detection strategies and methods are also being optimized and promoted.
共批准上市37个核酸检测试剂；检测技术和检测策略也在不断优化；全国普遍达到6小时以内出结果。
