What are the advantages of Guangzhou launching micro-mobile nucleic acid testing vehicles to the countryside?

The kick-off event for Guangzhou Laboratory Technology’s journey of supporting grassroots epidemic prevention and control was held at Guangzhou International Bio-Island. The purpose of the event is to "build a solid first line of defense and help grassroots epidemic prevention and control." After the launch of this event, the Guangzhou laboratory will assist grassroots communities across the country in three aspects: building a comprehensive new coronavirus nucleic acid screening network at the grassroots level, training respiratory infectious disease prevention and control skills for grassroots health personnel, and using big data to conduct early warning and monitoring of respiratory viruses. Epidemic prevention and control allows more people to have a peaceful Spring Festival. ?

In view of the fact that the new epidemic mainly occurs in rural areas, the locations are relatively scattered and it is difficult to conduct centralized testing and management. In order to reduce the time and operation process of nucleic acid testing, Guangzhou has launched mini nucleic acid testing vehicles to the countryside, which can quickly Collect nucleic acid testing samples and conduct all-round testing to prevent omissions and reduce the workload of staff.

The benefits of the new nucleic acid testing vehicle include the following aspects.

First, speed.

Mobile testing vehicles are more convenient and faster than fixed testing sites. They can move the site to adapt to rural testing and reduce personnel mobility.

The testing reagents carried on the vehicles can also effectively carry out one-dose testing for rural residents.

Rural areas are characterized by relatively scattered distribution. If every rural area requires villagers to go to designated places for testing, it will undoubtedly be more burdensome for rural residents.

Mobile vehicles can be used to wait in the village, reducing the burden on the people.

Second, accuracy.

Compared with centralized testing in a city, rural areas should conduct district testing. Fixed testing based on a village will be more effective, reduce the possibility of reagent confusion, be more targeted, and make the test results more reliable.

There are many elderly people living in rural areas. It is difficult for the elderly alone to fully understand the policy, and it is difficult for them to spontaneously conduct nucleic acid tests. Even if the tests are completed, it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the results.

Using mobile vehicles for testing will help the elderly respond to test results more accurately and improve detection accuracy and responsiveness.

Third, allocate personnel reasonably.

The personnel ratio of testing vehicles can further optimize the use of medical staff. The personnel assigned to the vehicles will not occupy a lot of medical resources, and can complete the role of a few people testing most areas, allocate resources reasonably, and reduce the waste of resources. .

For rural areas, which are geographically dispersed, a complete inspection of all rural areas will inevitably require a lot of personnel. Mobile vehicles can effectively solve the conflicting problem of personnel ratio.

In short, the emergence of miniature nucleic acid detection vehicles is a technological advancement and a convenient detection method.

No matter which detection method is used, it is all to better observe human health and virus infection. I believe that the virus will be defeated in the future.
