Does nucleic acid have to be done every day?

It is not necessary to detect nucleic acids every day, but once a week can better evaluate whether there is COVID-19 infection.

Nucleic acid detection is of great pathogenic value in evaluating virus infection. Pay attention to rest at ordinary times, go to crowded places less, exercise properly, and improve immunity. Vaccination with COVID-19 vaccine has certain preventive value for related virus infection.

If there are no corresponding contraindications, vaccination can be used for prevention. At ordinary times, we should pay attention to develop good sleep habits, strengthen nutritional support, eat more foods rich in vitamins and high-quality protein, and pay attention to regular physical examination to develop good exercise habits. Nucleic acid testing does not have to be done every day, but should be decided according to the situation in each region.

1. Low risk area

Relatively stable epidemic areas in novel coronavirus, such as low-risk areas, do not need to carry out nucleic acid detection every day, just do it according to regulations, avoid wasting national resources, wash your hands more at ordinary times, wear masks when going out, and don't go to crowded places. Proper exercise can improve immunity and exercise according to your physical condition.

2. Medium and high risk areas

At present, the purpose of nucleic acid detection is to detect novel coronavirus infection. For high-risk areas, nucleic acid testing must be carried out within 24 hours, which can effectively prevent asymptomatic infected people and some mutant strains, thus reducing the spread of novel coronavirus. In addition, there are many people doing nucleic acid testing, so be sure to wear masks and do personal protection. Wear it immediately after collecting nucleic acid samples, and wash your hands and disinfect after nucleic acid detection.
