CCTV news: The Comprehensive Team of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council today (March 22) released the newly revised “Regional Implementation Guidelines for Novel Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Detection Organizations (Third Edition).” The new version of the “Guide” requires that the risk of epidemic transmission should be scientifically determined, the scope of regional nucleic acid testing should be delineated, and the quality and efficiency of nucleic acid testing should be further improved.
The third edition of the “Guide” requires that after the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the city divided into districts, including the megacities with a permanent population of more than 10 million in the urban area, should complete the designated regional nucleic acid testing tasks within 24 hours. When necessary, it can be guaranteed through cooperative support within the region; when necessary, it can apply for national support.
The third edition of the “Guide” emphasizes the precise delineation of the detection range, and the “full staff” in the second edition of the “Guide” is changed to “area”, and the size of the area is determined by the needs of epidemic prevention and control. In order to adapt to the characteristics of the rapid spread of new coronavirus variants such as Omicron, it is stipulated that the nucleic acid detection of the designated scope should be completed within 24 hours, which further improves the ability of “early detection” of the epidemic. In order to facilitate local calculation and preparation of testing forces, the third edition of the “Guide”, based on fully summarizing the experience of Xi’an, Tianjin and other places, specifies the number of sampling personnel and nucleic acid testing capabilities required to complete nucleic acid testing in various regions within 24 hours.
