Nucleic acid testing for all employees, these precautions must be understood

Conduct nucleic acid testing

It is an important means of prevention and control of novel coronavirus infection

The purpose of large-scale full-scale nucleic acid testing

It's for implementation

Early detection, early reporting, early isolation, early treatment

During nucleic acid testing

To effectively avoid cross-infection

Reduce the risk of transmission and protect yourself and others

Please also do the following protection

When queuing

Wear masks in a standardized manner, maintain a distance of more than 2 meters from the front and back, and avoid face-to-face conversations between neighbors.

When detected

Do three "don'ts" and one "always":

Do not go forward immediately, wait until the former is tested and leave, and then step into the detection area.

Do not place personal items such as mobile phones and keys on the testing table.

Do not directly touch the items on the surface of the testing table with your hands and avoid transmission through surface contact.

Always wear a mask, do not immediately remove the mask and open your mouth to wait for sampling, wait for the doctor to finish disinfecting your hands, take out a new cotton swab, quickly go forward to take off the mask and open your mouth to sample, you should hold your breath when sampling, and wear a mask immediately after the sampling is completed.

Test completed

Do two "immediately" and three "don't":

Put on your mask immediately and leave the testing area quickly.

Go home immediately and wash your hands, remove the mask from the inside out, and replace it with a new one.

Do not touch your eyes, nose, mouth, or face with your hands.

Do not stay in the queuing area. Do not spit on the ground, the throat is uncomfortable to go home and deal with it.

Go home and take the elevator as much as possible, and wait in line for the elevator at a distance of two meters.

furthermore

Xiaobian also gives you back

I've crossed the point

Let's move on

01

Will drinking the day before affect the test results?

A: No.

Try to avoid eating 2 hours before the nucleic acid test to avoid vomiting. Do not smoke, drink alcohol, or chew gum 30 minutes before sampling to avoid false negative results.

At present, most of them use oropharyngeal swabs, and the inspectors use a swab similar to a cotton swab to wipe the posterior wall of the pharynx and bilateral tonsils, and the samples are collected and sent to the laboratory. In line with the attitude of being responsible for the overall situation of epidemic prevention and control and being responsible for my own health, please cooperate with the relevant provisions of nucleic acid testing, standardize the collection of throat swab samples, and avoid various behaviors that may affect the test results.

02

Having laryngitis, does having sputum in the throat affect the test results?

Its etiology is mainly caused by recurrent episodes of acute pharyngitis, irritation of inflammatory secretions from the sinuses of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx, direct spread of chronic inflammation of the tonsils or excessive tobacco and alcohol, dust, harmful gases, air pollution and other irritations and excessive consumption of spicy foods. The new crown nucleic acid detection is a specific test, which is the performance of the new crown virus infection, so it will not affect the test results.

03

Will a cold affect test results?

Coronavirus-specific RNA sequences are markers that distinguish the virus from other pathogens. If the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection are not caused by the new crown virus, the kit will not accumulate a sufficient amount of immunofluorescence, and the specific nucleic acid sequence of the new crown virus will not be detected in the patient sample, so there is no need to worry about being "misjudged".

When citizens with upper respiratory symptoms go to check for nucleic acid, they should wear masks correctly according to regulations, maintain a safe interpersonal distance from others, avoid conversations, and cover coughs with tissues or elbows to reduce the risk of droplet transmission.

04

Do children also have to do nucleic acid testing? How?

A: To be done.

Children are also at risk of COVID-19 and should also be tested for nucleic acid. For children without relevant identification, a guardian ID can be provided for registration.

If the baby is too young to cooperate with the health care worker to take samples, parents can pinch the cheeks on both sides of the baby slightly and take a throat swab after the baby opens his mouth. However, do not forcibly break your mouth to avoid causing harm to the baby's mouth, while aggravating the child's fear and affecting the sample collection.

05

Do I have to do a nucleic acid test on an empty stomach?

A: No fasting is required.

However, try to avoid eating 2 hours before the nucleic acid test to avoid vomiting. Do not smoke, drink alcohol, or chew gum 30 minutes before sampling to avoid false negative results.

06

After the nucleic acid test has been done for more than 24 hours, and the test results have not been found, will it be positive?

A: Due to the current nucleic acid testing drill for all employees, the number of tests is large, and the sampling and testing personnel are already working at full capacity, so the negative results of collective sampling are not issued for the time being. If the test result is found to be positive, the individual will be notified as soon as possible. If you don't receive a test result, you don't have to worry too much.
