Since this year, in Beijing, Inner Mongolia, Hefei, Anhui, Shijiazhuang, Hebei, Xuchang, Henan and other places, it has been found that nucleic acid testing institutions have violated laws and regulations, which has aroused widespread public concern and strong dissatisfaction. At a news conference held by the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council recently, Guo Yanhong, director of the Medical Emergency Department of the National Health Commission, pointed out that the supervision will continue to be strengthened, and serious violations of the law that issue false test reports will be dealt with firmly according to law and regulations.
Nucleic acid testing is the "gold standard" for diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. The results of accurate nucleic acid detection are the scientific basis for implementing accurate prevention and control, and the most direct, basic and critical link in the process of epidemic prevention and control. In the past two years, the illegal problems of nucleic acid testing institutions have been exposed from time to time, and some sampling personnel practice fraud and issue false testing reports; Some testing institutions undertake business beyond their capabilities, regardless of the accuracy of nucleic acid testing results, and dilute "ten mixed one" to "twenty mixed one" and "thirty mixed one" for monitoring; Others even deliberately fail to report positive results. These nucleic acid detection disorders have increased the difficulty of epidemic prevention and control and caused huge losses to relevant areas, which must be seriously dealt with.
Standardizing nucleic acid detection and ensuring the authenticity of data are the basic premise for implementing scientific and accurate prevention and control. Those responsible for deliberately counterfeiting in the process of nucleic acid testing must be severely punished according to law and regulations with the determination to severely punish chaos and cure diseases. At the same time, it is necessary to conduct supervision before and during the event, standardize the access and operation of nucleic acid testing institutions with a more strict mechanism, avoid problems such as uneven qualifications and super capacity contracting, and ensure the quality control level of nucleic acid testing at the institutional level.
Standardize nucleic acid testing, focusing on daily supervision. Effectively supervise large-scale sampling and detection activities to test the refinement level of social governance. It is advisable to follow the regulatory model for vaccination, strengthen flight inspection, strengthen random sampling inspection of nucleic acid testing institutions, set up high rewards, encourage internal personnel of testing institutions to act as "whistleblowers", effectively supervise illegal behaviors of testing institutions, and form a whole process and chain supervision mechanism with universal participation of all parties.
In addition, some people are worried about the risk of cross infection during nucleic acid sampling, which needs to be taken seriously and responded scientifically. Every detail of the environmental conditions set up at the detection points, the interval and order maintenance of the queuing personnel, and the hand disinfection during the sampling process should be included in the scope of standardized management. When carrying out antigen detection at home, residents should also carefully study the operating specifications for self collection, carefully do a good job in scanning and entering personal information, tightening the sampling tube and other aspects to ensure the accuracy of sampling quality and detection results.
