1. Significance of carrying out the whole staff nucleic acid test

Nucleic acid test is to directly find the evidence of the existence of the virus. If a person is infected with the virus, there will be a virus in the pharynx, and the virus will be separated from the sample collected by smearing. If the test result is positive, it proves that the person has been infected with the virus. As a standard for diagnosing COVID-19's disease, nucleic acid detection is of great significance.

2. Precautions before and after nucleic acid detection

Before detection: Try to avoid eating 2 hours before nucleic acid detection to avoid vomiting; Do not drink, smoke, drink or chew gum 31 minutes before sampling; Reduce swallowing action and don't clear your throat. Before collecting nasopharyngeal swab, the examinee should inform the collector whether there is any relevant past medical history or related matters. For example, the history of nasal surgery, curved nasal septum, blood diseases, throat diseases, or taking anticoagulants and other related risk factors; Testers need to wear masks correctly, take them off before testing, put them on immediately after testing, and prepare a spare mask for easy replacement at any time after pollution.

You can immediately cover it with a paper towel or elbow.

after detection: leave the collection site immediately after collection to avoid spitting and vomiting around the collection site. Attention should be paid to hand hygiene before and after nucleic acid detection, and hands can be wiped with hand-free disinfectant or alcohol. In addition, in order to improve efficiency, you can prepare in advance: due to the strict protection of medical staff, you may not be able to hear clearly. At the same time, in order to improve efficiency, please be sure to bring your ID card or household registration book, wear a mask, and bring a paper towel.

Swallow swab refers to the method of collecting samples from the throat with a cotton swab, which will not hurt. Some people will feel slight nausea or slight throat discomfort, and it will be relieved or disappeared soon after collection.

4. Will nucleic acid detection cause harm to human body?

nucleic acid detection will not cause any harm to human body.

5. how to query the results of nucleic acid detection?

after the completion of nucleic acid testing, the testing organization will input the personal testing results into the relevant information system, and residents can query their own nucleic acid testing results through Hebei Health Code, National Government Service Platform and the State Council Client. You can also go to the "Hebei CDC" WeChat WeChat official account for enquiry.

Tip: The nucleic acid detection information displayed in "Hebei Health Code" is provided by hospitals or designated institutions in Hebei Province, and only nucleic acid detection in hospitals or designated institutions in Hebei Province is supported for the time being.
