Where can I do nucleic acid testing?

Many top three hospitals can do nucleic acid virus testing.

You should register your real name with your ID card, and then apply for nucleic acid testing at a fever clinic or a designated hospital. Nucleic acid detection is mainly through throat swab sampling. That is, use a soft cotton swab (a special collection tool for throat swab) to continuously rotate on the posterior pharyngeal wall and bilateral tonsils, put it into a test tube after obtaining obvious secretion, tighten the test tube cover, and then put the test tube into a sealed bag.

Sealed and collected sample tubes should be kept at low temperature and sent for inspection as soon as possible. Nucleic acid detection is an important means for diagnosis and screening of novel coronavirus.

Precautions:

1. Vomiting symptoms may occur after nucleic acid detection. Do not eat for two hours before sampling with throat swab.

2. Drinking, smoking or chewing gum may affect the results of nucleic acid detection, so don't smoke, drink or chew gum half an hour before sampling with throat swab.

There are many people doing nucleic acid testing in hospitals. In order to avoid cross infection, in addition to wearing masks, you need to prepare spare masks.

4. In the case of many people, it is often necessary to wait in line for nucleic acid detection. Keep a safe distance from others and don't talk during this time.
