Methods to prevent cross-infection during nucleic acid testing of all employees

On August 7, Qiao Jihong, director of the Infection Management Department of North Jiangsu People's Hospital, introduced at the 9th special conference on epidemic prevention and control , the infection of the new coronavirus is concealed to a certain extent. Carrying out large-scale nucleic acid testing for all employees can enable "early detection, early reporting, early isolation, and early treatment." This can accurately and timely detect infected people, reduce the risk of transmission, and protect susceptible groups.

Qiao Jihong reminded citizens to pay attention to nucleic acid sampling, bring their ID cards and wear masks before going out. Walk, ride or take a private car, do not take public transportation, line up in an orderly manner after arriving at the sampling point, and keep a distance of more than 1 meter; wear a mask throughout the process, do not talk to others, and cooperate with the guidance of on-site staff.

It should be reminded that in order to avoid vomiting caused by throat swab sampling, do not eat 2 hours before sampling; to avoid affecting the test results, do not smoke, drink or chew gum 30 minutes before sampling. At the same time, in order to reduce the risk of infection, it is recommended that all test takers prepare a spare mask.

When collecting throat swabs, try to relax as much as possible, tilt your head back, take a deep breath, and open your mouth to make an "ah" sound. Please pay special attention not to cough or sneeze at medical staff or other people. After collection, put on a spare mask, put the discarded mask into the designated trash can, leave the sampling point immediately, and avoid spitting and vomiting around the collection point.

Now is the scorching summer, and the weather is hot. Citizens and friends should also pay attention to replenishing water in time. You should not wait until you are thirsty to drink water, drink small amounts often, and do not drink drinks containing alcohol or a lot of sugar. When going out, plan your itinerary in advance, avoid going out at noon, and prepare sun hats, sun umbrellas, sunscreen, etc.
