Abstract

: Novel coronavirus nucleic acid detection is an important way to diagnose new coronavirus pneumonia and restrict its rapid transmission. Quickly finding the source of infection of the novel coronavirus pneumonia and effectively blocking the chain of transmission helps to control the large-scale epidemic of the novel coronavirus which have a high transmission rate like one of its variant Omicron. Launching large-scale nucleic acid testing (NAT) is one of the effective approaches to prevent the spread of the epidemic. In this article, we discussed the standardized management and on-site implementation process of large-scale NAT during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. We highlighted the basic requirements and workflow of nucleic acid test sampling points in Jiangsu Province, including: sampling point setting, basic requirements for personnel, personal protection for personnel, samples collection and transportation procedures, medical waste handling, and precautions for environmental disinfection. It provides effective measures and guidelines for NAT sampling sites to effectively respond to the epidemic, which can effectively avoid the cross-infection and the spread of the epidemic, and create a safe environment for rapid nucleic acid detection and sampling of local residents. From March 5 to May 4, more than 220,000 NAT sampling sites have been set up, and the number of NAT samples have been exceeded 1.5 billion since the omicron COVID-19 virus broke out. There have been no suspected cases of COVID-19 infection misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. Further, no cross-infection reported at all NAT and sampling sites. Concerning the large-scale implementation of the nuclear acid testing, this article highlights the basic requirements and prevention and control measures which have high importance and practical significance for the prevention and control of the new coronavirus pneumonia at the NAT sampling sites.
江苏省新冠肺炎疫情防控核酸检测采样点技术规范
新型冠状病毒核酸检测是诊断新型冠状病毒肺炎、限制其快速传播的重要手段。迅速找到新型冠状病毒肺炎的传染源,有效阻断传播链,有助于控制新型冠状病毒的大规模流行,这种新型冠状病毒具有其变种欧米克隆的高传播率。开展大规模核酸检测是预防疫情传播的有效途径之一。本文探讨了2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)疫情期间大规模NAT的规范化管理和现场实施流程。重点介绍了江苏省核酸检测采样点的基本要求和工作流程,包括:采样点设置、人员基本要求、人员个人防护、样本采集和运输流程、医疗废弃物处理、环境消毒注意事项等。为NAT采样点有效应对疫情提供了有效措施和指导,可有效避免疫情交叉感染和传播,为当地居民快速核酸检测和采样创造安全环境。自3月5日至5月4日,已建立超过22万个NAT采样站点,自新冠病毒爆发以来,NAT样本数量已超过15亿个。无新型冠状病毒感染疑似误诊漏诊病例。此外,所有NAT和采样点均未报告交叉感染。针对核酸检测的大规模实施,本文重点提出了在NAT采样点防控新型冠状病毒肺炎的基本要求和防控措施,具有高度的重要性和现实意义。
