On the 16th, at a press conference on epidemic prevention and control in Guangzhou, Zhang Zhoubin, deputy director of the Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said in response to media questions that the “yellow code” should be adjusted according to the characteristics of the average incubation period of 3-4 days for the Omicron variant. Personnel control requirements. It has been adjusted from 2 nucleic acid tests in 3 days for home health monitoring to 3 nucleic acid tests in 7 days for home health monitoring and 7 days for self-health monitoring.
Zhang Zhoubin explained that even if the “yellow code” people are infected after exposure on the 14th, it will take an average of 17 and 18 days to be screened for nucleic acid positive. Therefore, according to the previous strategy of 2 tests in 3 days, it is not enough from the perspective of risk prevention. . Therefore, according to the time of case activity and the time of discovery and investigation, after scientific research and judgment, the prevention and control requirements of the “yellow code” population will be adjusted.
In order to minimize the impact on the normal work and life of citizens, the health code of the yellow code people will turn green after the first nucleic acid test is negative. However, after transcoding, it is still necessary to comply with the epidemic prevention requirements of home health monitoring “two do a good job, one avoidance and one timely”, that is, do a good job of measuring body temperature and do personal protection when going out; avoid entering public confined spaces to participate in gathering activities; In case of abnormal conditions such as cough, go to the designated hospital for investigation in time, and standardize the completion of 3 nucleic acid tests within 7 days (1, 3, and 7 days).
