Do you need a nucleic acid test report when you return to Zaoyang, Xiangyang, where the risk is low?

According to the notice from the prevention and control headquarters of novel coronavirus infected pneumonia in Xiangyang City, people from low-risk areas in China can pass Xiangyang with the green health code and normal body temperature. Those who return to Xiangxiang during the Spring Festival should plan their trip and take personal protection, and report to their village as soon as they get home. The village will arrange free nucleic acid testing. Specific community epidemic prevention measures suggest contacting the community before returning to China, subject to community control measures.

Since June+10/October 2 1 in 5438, Zaoyang has shifted the focus of epidemic prevention and control work, strictly controlled the entrance of returnees, and set up passenger nucleic acid detection sampling channels at Zaoyang high-speed railway station and Zaoyang bus stations by using big data.

After all the returnees leave the station, they can show their health codes and swipe their ID cards, and then they can quickly enter the information collection desk for returnees, and then carry out free nucleic acid testing. Returned personnel shall report to the local community or village office with the certificate issued by Zaoyang Prevention and Control Headquarters.

What are the characteristics of nucleic acid detection, antibody detection and antigen detection?

Nucleic acid detection: It has high requirements for laboratory environment, testers and instruments, high detection sensitivity and good specificity, and the results can be obtained in 2-3 hours.

Antibody detection: the operation is simple and convenient, and it is suitable for the detection of a large number of suspected cases and asymptomatic infected persons, and the results can be obtained within 15 minutes at the earliest.

Antigen detection: it has low requirements for laboratories, can be used for early screening and early diagnosis, and is suitable for large-scale screening in primary hospitals, and the results can be obtained within 15 minutes at the earliest.

At present, nucleic acid detection is widely used, and the sensitivity and specificity of antibody/antigen detection reagents are still limited. Nucleic acid/antibody/antigen detection has its own emphasis and cannot replace each other. The combined application of multiple detection methods can effectively shorten the detection window and improve the positive detection rate.
