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 problems of long queue and slow results 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.
There is no need for frequent nucleic acid testing in long-term home population.
He Qinghua, the first-level inspector of the CDC of the National Health and Wellness Commission, 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 a normal state to check nucleic acid certificate.

He Qinghua said that there is no need for frequent nucleic acid testing in low-risk areas, low-risk people and long-term home people. The focus of nucleic acid detection should be on high-risk population, high-risk post staff and epidemic areas.
"After the outbreak of a cluster epidemic, it is necessary to scientifically formulate nucleic acid detection strategies according to the needs of epidemic prevention and control, delineate the scope and frequency of nucleic acid detection, and avoid blindly expanding the scope of nucleic acid detection for all staff." He Qinghua said that the tested personnel 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 sealed 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 travel in low-risk areas and prevention areas where the epidemic occurs, a 48-hour negative nucleic acid test certificate is required.
Continuously improve the convenience of nucleic acid detection
Guo Yanhong, inspector of the Medical Administration and Hospital Authority of the National Health and Wellness Commission, said that "prevention" is the most economical and effective measure, and it is necessary to carry out 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 laid out in a grid, so as to guide the localities to scientifically plan the layout of sampling points according to the population, population distribution, geographical traffic and other factors. At present, community sampling is the main method, and sampling points are set up in places where the crowd activity density is high and congestion is not easy to occur. At the same time, mobile sampling points can be set up on the basis of fixed sampling points as needed.

Second, publish the information of sampling points in time. Through the official website, client, WeChat WeChat official account, public service applet and other forms, the sampling points will be announced to the public in time. Guide local governments to establish and improve electronic maps, and update them in time to facilitate people’s inquiries and sampling nearby.
Third, arrange the sampling time flexibly. According to the time needs of the masses, the sampling time can be flexibly arranged. For example, for people who go to work or school, sampling can be arranged in the morning and in the 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.
Correcting illegal compulsory measures for nucleic acid detection in time.
He Qinghua said that according to the local epidemic situation and the needs of prevention and control, the epidemic area should organize nucleic acid testing according to law and science, 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 in accordance with the law, actively cooperate with the development of nucleic acid testing, fulfill their personal prevention and control obligations, and jointly promote the formation of a good social atmosphere for mass prevention and control.
He Qinghua said that for regions, units and individuals who 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.
Set up "traffic lights" for nucleic acid testing institutions
According to reports, nucleic acid detection is a mature laboratory detection technology. After the outbreak of COVID-19, the National Health and Wellness Commission further strengthened the supervision of nucleic acid testing institutions, and made relevant regulations from 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 qualification management 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 testing institutions ‘ Traffic lights ’ System. " Guo Yanhong said that when entering according to law, the qualified subjects should be approved by "green light", and at the same time, the "yellow light" rectification and "red light" exit mechanism should be resolutely implemented.
Positive nucleic acid detection in environmental samples does not mean that there is a live virus.
Xu Wenbo, director of the Center for Viral Disease Prevention and Control of China CDC, said that inactivated vaccines prepared from live virus, dead virus and whole virus particles all contain Covid-19’s nucleic acid, and nucleic acid can be detected as positive. Positive nucleic acid detection in environmental samples does not mean that there must be live viruses in the environment.
Xu Wenbo said that if nucleic acid is positive in environmental samples, it can be simply understood as Covid-19’s nucleic acid. But whether there is a live virus, it is necessary to conduct very strict research and judgment.
