At the forefront of epidemic prevention | Worried about being infected when going out for nucleic acid testing, how should you prevent it?

Nucleic acid testing is an important means to screen out COVID-19 positive infections as quickly as possible. Faced with the complex and ever-changing epidemic prevention and control situation, we must cooperate with nucleic acid testing as required and ensure that "all those who should be tested are tested " so that we can achieve early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment of infected people, minimize the risk of infection for others, and jointly create an "epidemic-free community."

Actively participating in nucleic acid testing can help our lives return to normal epidemic prevention and control as soon as possible. In order to avoid being infected during the nucleic acid test, it is very important to do a good job of personal protection!

01

Before nucleic acid sampling, wear a mask and avoid gathering

1. Pay attention to the COVID-19 vaccination time

Before taking nucleic acid samples, you should first make sure that you have not been vaccinated with the new coronavirus vaccine within 48 hours.

2. Not eating for two hours

Try not to eat 2 hours before sampling. To avoid affecting the test results, do not smoke, drink or chew gum 30 minutes before sampling.

3. Keep a safe distance

On the way to the nucleic acid testing point, wear an N95 mask in accordance with regulations, keep a safe distance at all times, avoid touching public facilities and objects with your hands, and do not touch your eyes, ears, nose, and mouth with your hands. When you arrive at the testing point, prepare your health code in advance as required.

02

When nucleic acid sampling, disinfect before sitting down

1. Wear a mask and keep your distance

Wear an N95 mask properly while queuing, follow the staff's instructions, keep a distance of more than 2 meters between people when queuing , and try to go when there are fewer people.

2. Do not touch the nucleic acid testing table

During the nucleic acid test, do not touch the nucleic acid testing table and do not place mobile phones, ID cards, etc. on the table.

3. Hold your breath when opening your mouth for sampling

Wait until the previous person has finished taking the sample and left, and the medical staff has completed hand disinfection before going forward. When you open your mouth to accept the sample, you must hold your breath, neither exhaling nor inhaling.

03

After sampling, wash your hands frequently and leave early

1. Do not linger at the sampling point

After sampling, put on the mask quickly and leave immediately. If hand disinfection is performed, the wiped tissue should be placed in the medical waste garbage bag.

2. Wash your hands immediately after returning home

Use running water, soap, and the seven-step hand washing method to wash your hands thoroughly.

3. Keep a calm mind and don’t rush

The test results are usually available within 24 hours . Due to the heavy workload of nucleic acid testing in recent days, data upload may be slightly delayed. If you are unable to find the test results, you need to wait patiently and do not get impatient.

Carefully cooperating with every nucleic acid test is the best support for this battle against the epidemic! Work together to overcome the difficulties and be the first person responsible for your own health!
