Nucleic acid detection is an important means to prevent epidemic situation. Will checking nucleic acid certificates become a normal state everywhere? How to solve the problem of long queue and slow result in nucleic acid detection? How to ensure the accuracy of nucleic acid detection results by strengthening supervision? The State Council's joint defense and control mechanism held a press conference on the 9th to make a centralized response to social concerns.
Nucleic acid testing should focus on high-risk groups.
He Tsinghua, a first-class inspector of National Health Commission CDC, said that nucleic acid detection is the most scientific and effective means for early detection of epidemic situation, but in the absence of epidemic situation and input risk, it should not be normal to check nucleic acid certificates.
He Qinghua said that low-risk areas, low-risk people and long-term people at home don't need to do regular nucleic acid testing. Nucleic acid detection should focus on high-risk groups, high-risk post personnel and epidemic areas.
? After the outbreak of cluster epidemic, we should scientifically formulate nucleic acid detection strategies according to the needs of epidemic prevention and control, delimit the scope and frequency of nucleic acid detection, and avoid blindly expanding the scope of nucleic acid detection for all staff. ? He Tsinghua said that the subjects will be tested for nucleic acid according to the risk level from high to low.
According to reports, the first full-scale nucleic acid detection was completed within 24 hours in the closed control area, and the first full-scale nucleic acid detection was completed within 48 hours in the control area. People in medium and high risk areas, closed control areas and control areas are not allowed to go out. If it is really necessary to go to the low-risk area and prevention area where the epidemic occurs, it is necessary to provide a 48-hour negative nucleic acid test certificate.
Continuously improve the convenience of nucleic acid detection.
Guo Yanhong, inspector of National Health Commission Medical Administration Hospital Authority, introduced. Guard? It is the most economical and effective measure, which requires efficient, convenient and high-quality nucleic acid detection. In order to improve the convenience of nucleic acid detection, the following measures have been taken:
First, set up nucleic acid detection points reasonably. The sampling points should be arranged in a grid, which can guide all localities to scientifically plan the layout of sampling points according to factors such as population, population distribution and geographical transportation. At present, community sampling is the main method, and sampling points are set in places with high crowd activity density and difficult congestion. At the same time, mobile sampling points can be set on the basis of fixed sampling points as needed.
Second, publish the information of sampling points in time. Through official website, client, WeChat official account and public service applet, the sampling points will be announced to the public in time. Guide all localities to establish and improve electronic maps, update them in time, and facilitate the people to inquire and sample nearby.
Third, arrange the sampling time flexibly. According to the time demand of the masses, the sampling time can be arranged flexibly. For example, people who go to work or school, sampling can be arranged in the morning and evening after work.
Fourth, feedback and update the test results in time. After the testing organization completes the testing, relevant departments should synchronize the testing results to platforms such as health codes in time, so that the public can find their own testing results as soon as possible.
Timely correct illegal compulsory measures for nucleic acid detection.
He Tsinghua said that according to the local epidemic situation and the needs of prevention and control, the epidemic areas should organize nucleic acid testing legally and scientifically, clarify the population, regional scope and frequency of nucleic acid testing, and do a good job in publicity, organization and guidance. At the same time, it also appeals to the masses to abide by the relevant regulations and requirements of epidemic prevention and control according to law, actively cooperate with the development of nucleic acid testing, fulfill their personal prevention and control obligations, and promote the formation of a good social atmosphere for mass prevention and control.
He Tsinghua said that for regions, units and individuals that take illegal and compulsory measures, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council will require the relevant places to rectify and correct in time.
Establishment of nucleic acid detection institutions? Traffic lights?
According to reports, nucleic acid detection is a mature laboratory detection technology. After the outbreak of COVID-19, National Health Commission has further strengthened the supervision of nucleic acid detection institutions, and made relevant regulations from the aspects of the whole process of examination and approval, quality control and evaluation, daily supervision and punishment withdrawal.
In order to further strengthen the supervision of the whole chain of nucleic acid detection in COVID-19, the comprehensive group of joint prevention and control mechanism in the State Council recently made special arrangements to further strengthen the supervision from the aspects of strict management of qualification of detection institutions and personnel, standardizing the management of sample collection, preservation and transshipment, strengthening the daily supervision and management of nucleic acid detection institutions, and strictly implementing the exit mechanism of nucleic acid detection institutions.
? Establishment of nucleic acid detection institutions? Traffic lights? System. ? Guo Yanhong said that when entering according to law, it should be implemented as a qualified subject? Green light? Examination and approval, and resolutely implement? Yellow light? Rectification,? Red light? Exit mechanism.
Positive nucleic acid test in environmental samples does not mean the existence of live virus.
Xu Wenbo, director of the Center for Viral Disease Prevention and Control of China CDC, said that inactivated vaccines prepared with live virus, dead virus and whole virus particles all contain COVID-19 nucleic acid, which can be detected as positive. Positive nucleic acid test in environmental samples does not mean that there must be live virus in the environment.
Xu Wenbo said that if the nucleic acid in the environmental sample is positive, it can be simply understood as COVID-19's nucleic acid. However, whether there is a live virus requires very strict research and judgment.
