What should I pay attention to before doing nucleic acid testing? How long will it take for the nucleic acid test results to be displayed on the health code?

Nucleic acid testing has now entered the normal prevention and control stage, and I believe everyone is familiar with it. Nucleic acid testing is to directly find evidence of the existence of the virus. It not only protects the health of the people, but also helps the rational flow of people and promotes the full recovery of social economy and life order. So what should we pay attention to before doing nucleic acid testing? How long will it take for the nucleic acid test results to be displayed on the health code? Let's learn about it together.

Is nucleic acid testing required for COVID-19 vaccination?

After getting the COVID-19 vaccine, if there is an epidemiological history of a certain risk of infection, nucleic acid testing is also required. COVID-19 is an acute infectious disease caused by a new coronavirus infection. Since the outbreak, it has caused tens of millions of infections and millions of deaths. Currently, the global epidemic prevention and control is at its most difficult moment. Most countries and regions are still in a state of high incidence of COVID-19, which has caused extremely serious harm to human health. In order to better control the epidemic and eliminate COVID-19, many countries and regions in the world have successfully developed COVID-19 vaccines and have carried out early clinical use. However, due to the relatively short time for vaccine development, relevant reliable data is still insufficient, including whether 100% immunity can be achieved after vaccination, how long the immunity lasts, etc., which need to be better confirmed through further accumulation of clinical data.

What should you pay attention to before doing nucleic acid testing?

Before doing the nucleic acid test, you need to be careful not to stay up late and ensure sleep. The sleep time needs to reach 8 hours. In addition, you cannot eat spicy, greasy, or fried foods before doing the nucleic acid test. Do not eat irritating foods and keep your mouth and nasal cavity clean. Two hours before the nucleic acid test, try not to eat any food to avoid vomiting during the nucleic acid test. Be careful to relax and don't be too stressed. After the nucleic acid test, rest in the hospital for half an hour and drink a little warm water, which will make you feel more comfortable. You should also pay attention to your diet after the test. You cannot smoke or drink. If you feel unwell, you need to go to the hospital for examination immediately to clarify the cause.

How long does it take for nucleic acid test results to be displayed on the health code?

Generally, the results will be available in about 24 hours. The nucleic acid test needs to be sent for inspection and testing, which takes some time. Generally speaking, the results of the nucleic acid test will be available in about 24 hours. If the health code holder needs to view his or her nucleic acid test and antibody test results within 7 days, he or she can click in the APP or mini program to enter, and then the nucleic acid test and antibody test results, test time and name of the testing institution of the code holder will be displayed.

What is the difference between nucleic acid testing in the nose and throat?

Nucleic acid testing of nasal and throat sampling is a sampling method for quickly identifying whether patients are infected with the new coronavirus. Both methods can quickly, effectively and accurately make a clear diagnosis.

The main difference between nasal and throat swab sampling and analysis is that when taking nasal samples, the operator can stand behind the examiner to take the sample, thereby reducing the operator's exposure to oropharyngeal secretions and the possibility of infection.

When taking throat samples, the operator needs to stand directly in front of the sampler. When the patient is irritated, coughs, or feels nauseous, the sampler may be infected, increasing the risk of spreading the new coronavirus.
