Recently, more and more news about “performing programs for epidemic prevention personnel” has appeared on major social platforms.

Behind the moving and grateful copy, some readers also suggested that “form is greater than reality” and delayed medical staff’s off-duty time.
But this trend did not stop there. Instead, it evolved from individual behaviors to organized actions, and the age group also spanned small, middle, and college students—and these actions were still regarded as A model of positive propaganda.
Let’s say it: The act of performing a show to medical staff during nucleic acid testing is not supported.
Nucleic acid testing, safety first
It can be seen from the video that most of these programs are performed at nucleic acid testing sites, which not only delays the progress of the testing work, but may also bring risks to nucleic acid testing.
Hospital infection prevention and control expert Liu Hao (pseudonym) told Dingxiangyuan: “The nucleic acid sampling point is a temporary set up for nucleic acid collection, and is responsible for nucleic acid sampling for relevant personnel in the jurisdiction. The sampling objects are complex, and there may be Potential infected people, so the sampling site should emphasize social distancing, air circulation, surface disinfection, hand hygiene and wearing masks. Dancing at the sampling site, on the one hand, people gather; Dance at the sampling point, the longer you stay, the greater the exposure risk.”
Li Tong, chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Beijing You’an Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, once told us: “In terms of prevention and control requirements, it is definitely necessary to reduce gatherings and length of stay. Control measures: wash hands frequently, wear masks, reduce unnecessary gatherings, we can analyze whether such behaviors are necessary gatherings, if not, it can be considered inappropriate.
From a safety point of view, we have seen these videos, including individual performances or group dances of college students, all of which have maintained a distance from the performances and are performed outdoors. For personnel, the risk is not great. However, the performance may cause other people to gather around, or as some netizens worry, it may affect the detection of others: is the performance before, during or after the test? Will normal team spacing be affected by this? ”

“Regional Novel Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Detection Organization Implementation Guidelines” stipulates that the nucleic acid sampling site should strengthen refined organizational management, while staff and volunteers maintain work order, encourage Physical means such as chairs, metal grid lines, etc., strictly implement the “1-meter line” spacing requirement. By making reservations, notifications and sampling in advance in different time periods, the gathering of people in a short period of time is reduced, and the crowd queuing time should not exceed 20 minutes to avoid cross-infection.
Li Tong, chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Beijing You’an Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, once told us: “According to many news reports, the time for nucleic acid is still very tight and the pressure is relatively high. If the performance will cause a lot of people to line up or get together to chat, these are all risks.But we don’t know what the specific environment and conditions are on the video, and it’s hard to make a conclusion, but if we want to handle these well The problem definitely needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.”
Medical staff, not hype tools
Li Tong Zeng, chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Beijing You’an Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, also said: “Personally, because our unit often sends people to participate in activities related to nucleic acid testing, if Saying that the masses have expressed their gratitude, then we must be happy, but we also hope to do it under the premise of ensuring safety and meeting the requirements of prevention and control. For now, try to avoid events that can lead to crowds.”

The prevention and control of the epidemic is very difficult – this is the consensus of everyone, and because of this, in each epidemic, the scene of mutual care and understanding between doctors and patients is particularly moving.
However, from the end use of the “Show for Medical Staff” video distribution, it seems that the show for medical staff is gradually “changing.” It gradually changed from a “thank you act” to a thank you program and propaganda that could be uploaded to social platforms, or issued a press release.
Hospital infection prevention and control expert Liu Hao (pseudonym) said to Dingxiangyuan: “If you really want to thank the medical staff, cooperate with nucleic acid sampling, go home as soon as the collection is completed, and don’t affect the order at the scene. That’s ok. If you want to show your talent,I think everyone will not object to the cloud dance at home. The children in the video are all good children, and it is the parents’ problem. As for college students…is it better to be a volunteer for epidemic prevention and control?
Let Dabai finish his work and go home to rest, please. “
For the medical staff on the front line, in the high-intensity work, is forced to interrupt the progress and accept the kindness of the program preparers, and enjoy the cultural program in the nucleic acid sampling site And applauded and moved, presumably not as good as “go home early to rest”.
The prevention and control of the epidemic is a serious matter, and the medical staff who pay for it are not tools for hype. (curated by: Leu.)
