Cancellation of nucleic acid testing for all employees in many places

Twenty measures are proposed. Areas without epidemics will strictly follow the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan. Scope: Carry out nucleic acid testing for risk positions and key personnel, and the scope of nucleic acid testing must not be expanded. Generally, nucleic acid testing is not carried out for all employees according to administrative regions. It is only carried out when the source of infection and transmission chain are unclear, the community transmission time is long, and the bottom line of the epidemic is unknown. Formulate specific implementation measures to standardize nucleic acid testing, reiterate and refine relevant requirements, and correct unscientific practices such as "two tests a day" and "three tests a day."

After the twenty measures were released, many places across the country announced the cancellation of nucleic acid testing for all employees:

On November 11, Taihu County, Anhui Province announced that it would stop nucleic acid testing for all employees in the county.

In addition, Fuzhou City in Fujian Province, Hefei City in Anhui Province, Shanghai and many other places have actively adjusted their current epidemic prevention policies and announced the cancellation or temporary suspension of nucleic acid testing for all employees in the region.

At noon on November 11, Sanya City, Hainan Province issued a notice requiring all residents and tourists within the jurisdiction of Sanya City to participate in nucleic acid testing on the 12th. Those who fail to participate in nucleic acid sampling as required will be fined. Yellow code. Seven hours later, Sanya City issued another notice, saying that it was implementing the latest epidemic prevention and control policies and that the previously issued nucleic acid test for all employees would no longer be implemented. Nucleic acid testing will be carried out on a regular basis on November 12, 2022. Citizens and tourists can arrange their own time and take samples nearby.

Expert: It is scientific and reasonable to cancel nucleic acid testing for all employees

Virology expert Chang Rongshan said in a telephone interview with a reporter from the "Daily Economic News" that among the 20 measures, nucleic acid testing is The range requirements are relatively scientific. "Omicron BA.5 has weak pathogenicity and strong transmissibility. Generally, nucleic acid testing of all employees is not carried out according to administrative regions. This is scientific and reasonable."

In his view, from the perspective of epidemic prevention resources From the perspective of reasonable allocation, not conducting nucleic acid testing for all employees based on administrative regions can allow "good steel to be used on the blade."

Chang Rongshan explained: "If an epidemic occurs in a certain place, it is necessary to conduct nucleic acid testing of all buildings and units where the cases are located. And if there are only one or two cases, the entire administrative district, such as the entire It is obviously unnecessary to carry out nucleic acid testing for all members of the district and the entire county. "

Chang Rongshan believes that in the past, when sporadic cases occurred, all members of the administrative district were tested for nucleic acid testing. After the 20 Measures were released, After that, it should gradually decrease. “High-risk areas are generally demarcated by units and buildings. It is possible to conduct full-scale nucleic acid testing in high-risk areas, but it is not allowed to carry out full-scale nucleic acid testing in areas other than high-risk areas.” ”

Chang Rongshan told the reporter of "Daily Economic News" that in the entire northern hemisphere, the period from November to April next year is the season of high incidence of infectious diseases. The epidemic of the new coronavirus is superimposed on the high incidence of infectious diseases, which requires Our epidemic prevention work must be more precise and scientific.

“Many places have announced the cancellation of nucleic acid testing for all employees. First of all, it will give people confidence, eliminate fear, let everyone relax psychologically, and enhance human immunity to a certain extent, which is important for resisting infectious diseases that are highly prevalent in winter. Very important."

Chang Rongshan said.

In his view, as various work progresses, he believes that more places will announce the cancellation of nucleic acid testing for all employees. “In the next 2 to 4 weeks, more places should gradually take measures. , this will take some time.”
