The medical staff can finally rest! Normalized nucleic acid testing has been definitely cancelled in these areas!

The "nucleic acid fever" in various places has subsided, and many places have clearly stated that normalized nucleic acid testing will be cancelled!

Since the Omicron epidemic swept through, normalized nucleic acid detection has become a standard in major cities.

In May this year, the relevant person in charge of National Health Commission said that a "sampling circle" of nucleic acid was established in big cities, and Henan even took the lead in announcing the implementation of 48-hour nucleic acid in the whole province.

However, recently, this high frequency, high investment and strict defense detection mode has been somewhat loose. According to media reports, in recent days, many places across the country have adjusted their epidemic prevention and control policies, canceled the normalized nucleic acid detection mechanism or canceled the inspection of nucleic acid certificates.

In the future, will we slowly bid farewell to the life of 48 or 72 hours of nucleic acid "continuation"?

No.1

8 explicitly cancel the normalization of nucleic acid detection.

"nucleic acid detection fever" began to cool down

Recently, the national nucleic acid testing fever has begun to "cool down", and normalized nucleic acid testing has been cancelled in many places. Some areas have now made it clear that normalized nucleic acid testing will be cancelled. The details are as follows:

Dezhou City, Shandong Province: On June 15th, Dezhou City, Shandong Province issued the Notice on Adjusting the Policy of Epidemic Prevention and Control, and the people in theaters no longer required the "48-hour nucleic acid test certificate".

Tongzhou bay Demonstration Zone, Jiangsu Province: On June 14th, the Joint Prevention and Control Command of COVID-19 Epidemic in tongzhou bay Demonstration Zone, Jiangsu Province announced that the routine inspection of regional nucleic acid detection would be suspended from June 14th.

Jixi County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province: According to the notice of the Office of COVID-19 Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters in Jixi County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province on June 13, in view of the fact that Jixi County is a low-risk area in the whole country, the nucleic acid detection work of "all-staff nucleic acid rotation inspection every 7 days" will be cancelled on June 14.

Huangshan High-tech Zone, Anhui Province: Prevention and Control of COVID-19 Epidemic in Huangshan High-tech Zone, Anhui Province. The notice of emergency headquarters on June 13th mentioned that due to the fact that the whole high-tech zone is a low-risk zone, the regional nucleic acid detection scheduled to be carried out every Thursday was cancelled, and the nucleic acid detection of key populations should continue to be carried out according to the prevention and control requirements.

Shexian County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province: Prevention and Control of COVID-19 Epidemic in Shexian County, Huangshan City, emergency headquarters also announced that the regional nucleic acid detection scheduled for June 13-14 was cancelled due to the low risk in Shexian County.

Hai ‘an, Jiangsu Province: According to the news of WeChat "Hai ‘an Release" on June 12, from June 13, Hai ‘an City, Jiangsu Province will suspend the normalization inspection of regional nucleic acid detection.

Huangshan Scenic Area, Anhui Province: On June 11th, emergency headquarters, an epidemic prevention and control center in Huangshan Scenic Area, Anhui Province, issued a notice. In view of the low risk of the whole area, the regional nucleic acid detection scheduled for Monday and Tuesday was cancelled.

Huizhou, Guangdong: According to the report of WeChat "Huizhou TV Station", starting from June 10, according to the work arrangements of the relevant departments of epidemic prevention and control in the city, Huizhou airport, railway station and bus station are no longer required to hold 48-hour negative proof of nucleic acid test.

National Health Commission: Checking nucleic acids should not become the norm.

"If there is no epidemic and there is no risk of input, it should not be a normal state to check nucleic acids." He Qinghua, the first-class inspector of National Health Commission CDC, clearly pointed out at the press conference of joint prevention and control mechanism in the State Council on June 9th that there is no need for frequent nucleic acid testing in low-risk areas and low-risk people, and the focus of nucleic acid testing should be on high-risk people and staff in high-risk positions, as well as areas with epidemic situation.

At the same time, the corrective action for normalized nucleic acid detection has never stopped. Recently, the number of new infections in Beijing increased sharply due to the cluster epidemic of "Paradise Bar". On June 15th, at the 366th press conference of novel coronavirus epidemic prevention and control work in Beijing, Xu Hejian, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, spokesman of the municipal government and director of the municipal government information office, introduced that social prevention and control should be strictly and tightly carried out. Carry out high-quality nucleic acid screening, screen all the staff in key epidemic-related areas and towns with cases, find out the personnel base, strengthen organization and mobilization and information comparison, and ensure full coverage. Continue to do a good job in the normalization of nucleic acid testing in key industries and key populations, so as to ensure that all inspections should be completed.

According to relevant media reports, although large-scale nucleic acid testing is inevitable in the form of epidemic rebound, according to the characteristics of this epidemic, Beijing has specially positioned the people who should be inspected in key industries and key populations, which will minimize the impact of nucleic acid testing on the daily operation of the city to the greatest extent, and at the same time, accurately positioning the population will also reduce the workload for epidemic prevention workers, and ensure the personal rights and interests of medical staff to the greatest extent when emergencies come.

Optimization and Reform under Normalized Nucleic Acid

Free medical staff from nucleic acid testing!

Recently, National Health Commission issued two documents, namely, Guidelines for Preventing and Controlling Epidemic in novel coronavirus (hereinafter referred to as "Guidelines") and Notice on Further Strengthening the Quality Management of Nucleic Acid Sampling in Covid-19 (hereinafter referred to as "Notice"), to standardize the nucleic acid detection of epidemic prevention personnel and protect the personal rights and interests of medical staff.

The "Work Guide" requires further efforts to prevent heatstroke and labor protection for epidemic prevention and control personnel to prevent high temperature heatstroke. Many of them are equipped with heatstroke prevention drugs and drinks for epidemic prevention personnel; Reasonable control of high temperature operation time; Special people are not allowed to engage in intimate measures such as high-temperature operations (detailed report on one-click direct access).

The "Notice" clearly requires that "the deployment and use of sampling personnel should not crowd out normal medical resources as much as possible to ensure the people’s demand for medical treatment", and further free medical staff from nucleic acid testing (one-click direct report in detail).

Insiders pointed out that how to carry out nucleic acid testing, whether it needs normalization and where large-scale nucleic acid is needed, in the three-year epidemic experience, the government and the people have the answers in their hearts, and the process of the government’s continuous optimization of policies and measures is the process of correcting and improving, which takes some time.

At the same time, some people said that the question of who will do the nucleic acid testing is worthy of further discussion and analysis. In the process of round after round of epidemic rebound, the hard work of medical staff is in everyone’s eyes, but in the face of the frequent occurrence of "lightning storms" in testing institutions, the issue of opening up the market access for nucleic acid testing will be pushed to the forefront of public opinion. How to carry out the task of nucleic acid testing "treating both the symptoms and the root causes" needs in-depth research and discussion in many aspects.
