On March 22, Jiao Yahui, director of the Medical Administration Bureau of the National Health Commission, introduced the key points of the revision of the Guidelines for the Implementation of Regional Novel Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Testing Organizations (Third Edition) at the press conference of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council. Compared with the Guidelines for the Implementation of Nucleic Acid Testing for the Novel Coronavirus for All Employees (Second Edition), the third edition mainly revises the following aspects:
The first is to emphasize scientific precision and carry out nucleic acid testing on the demarcated areas. The "full staff" in the second edition of the "Guidelines" was revised to "region", and the size of the area was determined by the needs of epidemic prevention and control.
The second is to further clarify the time limit requirements for completion. It is stipulated that the delineated nucleic acid testing should be completed within 24 hours.
The third is to add 9 special work classes. More specific and targeted guidance has been made in the aspects of collection, delivery, inspection and reporting, as well as more accurate and effective matching, as well as nucleic acid capabilities, the configuration of sampling personnel, and the setting of sampling points.
