How much is the cost of nucleic acid detection points? Media interpretation

The cost of nucleic acid testing is different in different regions of COVID-19, and some regions have included nucleic acid testing in the scope of medical insurance payment.

Protect yourself and the people around you in this way. While reducing the price of nucleic acid testing in Hebei, I hope more cities can respond to this measure and further reduce the cost of nucleic acid testing. This is a very good convenience measure.

Principle of nucleic acid detection:

All living things contain nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. Novel coronavirus is a virus containing only RNA, and the specific RNA sequence in the virus is a sign to distinguish it from other pathogens. After novel coronavirus appeared, scientists in China completed the whole genome sequence analysis of novel coronavirus in a short time.

Compared with the genome sequence of other species, the specific nucleic acid sequence of novel coronavirus was found. If the specific nucleic acid sequence of Covid-19 can be detected in the patient's sample during clinical laboratory testing, it should be suggested that the patient may be infected with Covid-19.
