新冠測試

我们正处在红色区域的第二阶段。教会再次回到网上崇拜,很多店铺又再关闭。新冠病例不断增加,令人担忧。

即使回到第二阶段,我也仍正在为一间老人中心教课。在回到第二阶段的初期, 舞蹈学校要求政府让他们重新开放,原因是学校仍然开放。他们说我们是训练孩子们跳舞,为什么我们不能开放。政府同意让他们开放,他们可以继续教授芭蕾舞和国标舞,但不能教尊巴舞那样的健身舞。从那以后,老人中心的舞蹈课继续,健身课停止。

我周一(11月9日)在中心教了两节课。星期二(11月10日)接到中心的电话,他们告诉我,有一位成员的家人新冠测试呈阳性。此家庭成员曾来中心。每个人都应该与家庭医生交谈或进行测试。中心再次关闭。

新冠测试需要预约。我去了新冠的网站,点击预约,他们的医生在网上对我进行了评估。他们让我于当天下午在Credit Valley医院进行测试。这是在医院停车场进行的测试。很快,我坐在车上不必排队就做了测试。取样时很不舒服,但可以忍受。测试后,他们给了我一张纸,告诉我要进行隔离,直到结果出来。如果结果是阳性,他们会打电话给我,我也可以在网上查看结果。结果第二天就出来了,“阴性!” 我放心了。感谢上主!

安大略省的新冠病例每天在增加,从每日数百起增加到目前的1,500多起。加拿大的每日测试量从4月的10,000.00到现在的近50,000.00。店铺关了又开,开了又关。我们可能重开得太早了。在疫苗出来之前,我们将会维持这样的禁闭生活一段很长的时间。作为基督徒即使我们处在非常困难的境地,仍然必须振奋, 遵循上帝的指导,阅读圣经,恳切祷告,相信情况会好转。在这里和大家分享我们熟悉的诗篇23篇。

Covid -19 test

Sunny Wong

We are in stage 2 with the red zone. The church is back to virtual service again. Other businesses are locked down. Covid cases are increasing, which is scary.

Even we are backing to stage 2, I am still teaching dance lessons for a senior Centre. At beginning of the stage 2, the dance studio asks the government to reopen because the school is open. They said that we are training children to dance, so why can't we open? The government agrees and gives guidance that they can continue to teach Ballet and Ballroom Dance, but they cannot do fitness dances like Zumba. Since then, the senior center continued to hold dance classes but stopped fitness classes.

I taught two classes at the center on Monday (November 9). I received a call from the center on Tuesday (November 10) and they told me that a member’s family member had tested Covid positive. That family member was in the center. Everyone should talk to their family doctor or get tested. The center closed again.

Covid-19 testing requires an appointment. I went to the Covid-19 website, clicked make an appointment, their doctor chatted with me online went through the assessment. They gave me an appointment at Credit Valley Hospital the same day afternoon. This is a drive-through test in the hospital’s parking lot. It was quick. I don’t have to wait and got tested in the car right away. Sampling is uncomfortable, but it is tolerable. After the test, they gave me a piece of paper and told me to do the isolation until the results came out. If the result is positive, they will call me and I can also check it online. The result came out the next day, "Negative!" I was relieved. Thank God!

The number of new cases in Ontario has increased every day, from hundreds to more than 1,500 daily. The daily test volume in Canada has gone from 10,000.00 in April to nearly 50,000.00 now. The business close and open, open and close. We may have reopened too soon. Before the vaccine comes out, we may maintain this kind of isolation life for a long time. To be a Christian, even we are in a very difficult situation, we must still keep our spirits up, follow God's guidance, read Bible, pray for God's help, and believing that the situation will get better. I share our familiar Psalm 23 below.
