How to avoid infection during nucleic acid testing?
Reminder
When conducting nucleic acid sampling, it is necessary to comply with relevant protection requirements, avoid gathering together, and adhere to the norms Wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, ventilate frequently, and fulfill your health responsibilities to others while protecting yourself.
Before nucleic acid sampling< /strong>
We should prepare the following :
1
< span>In order to improve the sampling efficiency, before going out, prepare your mobile phone and download the Health Cloud APP or log in the Health Cloud applet to register a screenshot of the QR code. If the elderly do not have a smartphone, they can carry their ID cards and take the initiative to take the initiative according to the arrangement of the staff on site. Show the health code and itinerary code and enter the information in sequence;

Remind citizens to wear masks correctly before going downstairs to avoid cross-infection. Before and after sampling, they should wear masks correctly and in a standardized manner. Do not expose your mouth and nose. Remove, or pull the mask to the chin. Citizens are advised to carry spare masks with them in case of emergency;
3
Try to walk or take the stairs to the nucleic acid testing sampling site. Keep a 2-meter distance when queuing up, don’t get together, don’t gather, and don’t talk to people.
Nucleic acid sampling
< strong> What should we do?
1
Wait for the medical staff to install a test body and disinfect their hands, take out a new cotton swab, then quickly go forward, take off the mask and open your mouth, the mask can be folded into a fresh-keeping bag or held in your hand, do not hang under the chin , so as not to contaminate the mask, and after cooperating with the doctor to take samples, you need to put on the mask immediately.
2
When the oropharyngeal swab was collected Lean back, try to relax, and open your mouth to help quickly complete the sampling. During the nasopharyngeal swab collection process, the nose may be sore and itchy. If you sneeze, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow immediately;
3
Try not to touch the inspection table and other items during the detection process, and do not touch the protective clothing of the collection personnel.
After nucleic acid sampling
< strong> What should we do?
1
Leave the scene immediately after sampling, and do not spit, throw garbage, or chat with others at the collection point and its surroundings;
2< /p>
After the test, you need to pay attention to hand hygiene. You can use hand sanitizer or hand sanitizer, alcohol, disinfection cotton, etc. to wipe your hands.
Reminder:
Nucleic acid collection is carried out in a standardized manner under the guidance of the staff, everyone wears a mask and maintains a safe distance. In the case of outdoor ventilation, the risk of cross-infection will be very low, and you do not need to worry too much;
During the sampling process, due to weather, Due to venue and other restrictions, there may be a long waiting time in line, please understand and support, please do not crowd, get together and other situations that violate the order of the scene.
How to properly wear a mask during nucleic acid testing >
1
1. Selection of masks during sampling
Disposable medical masks, medical surgical masks or above protective level masks can be used.
2
2. Correct wearing method
1. When wearing a mask, Place the fingers of both hands in the middle of the metal nose clip, and move the fingertips along the sides of the nose clip while pressing inward until the nose clip is completely pressed into the shape of the bridge of the nose.
2. Stretch the mask downwards so that the mask does not leave wrinkles and tightly covers the nose and mouth. At the same time, inhale quickly, check whether the air leaks from the edge of the mask including the bridge of the nose, and then adjust the nose clip.
3. Disposable medical masks should have the nose clip side up and the dark side facing out. If the mask has no color difference, it can be judged according to the folds of the mask, and the folds are downwards to the outside. It is recommended to replace the new mask immediately after returning home.

3. Special attention
1. When the mask is dirty, deformed or damaged 2. Hand washing is a necessary “preparatory action” before wearing a mask. In addition to the droplet transmission of the new coronavirus through the respiratory tract, it can also be transmitted through contact;
3. Avoid touching your nose and rubbing your eyes with your hands, it is very likely to pass The mucous membrane is infected with the virus, and contact transmission occurs.
6 Mistakes in Wearing a Mask During Nucleic Acid Testing
< p data-track="65">
Not just wearing a mask can prevent virus infection. Here are a few common misunderstandings or mistakes to pay attention to when wearing masks.
Myths One: Masks can play a role in preventing infection.
Reminder: Not all masks can prevent viruses, such as activated carbon masks, cotton gauze masks , masks with exhalation valve, etc. These masks have limited preventive effect due to material and structural problems. Citizens are encouraged to purchase disposable medical masks, medical surgical masks or masks of higher protection level through formal channels.
Myths Two: During the queuing process, if the mask is stuck under the nose for inhalation due to poor breathing, or the mask is removed to spit, cough, or sneeze, it should not be a problem.
Reminder: Wearing a mask like this is not protective and is dangerous.
Myths Three: The masks are not replaced in time, regardless of whether they are up or down.
Reminder: Disposable medical masks are generally valid for 4 hours and cannot be worn inside or outside. Not to be worn on both sides.
Myths Four: Wearing multiple layers of masks can better prevent virus infection.
Reminder: multiple stacks will increase ventilation resistance and wear discomfort. Under the pressure of multiple masks, it is easy to cause air leakage around the mask.
Myths Five: The nucleic acid test of the previous citizen has not been completed, and the next citizen will take off the mask in advance and wait.
Reminder: keep a safe distance of 2 meters, wait for the medical staff to install a test body and After hand disinfection, take out a new cotton swab, then quickly go forward, take off the mask, open your mouth, cooperate with the doctor to take samples, and immediately go forward.Put the mask back on.
Myths Six: During nucleic acid testing, pull the mask to the chin or hang it on the side of the ear, or hang it on the arm or wrist.
Reminder: In order to avoid contamination of the mask, the mask should be removed, folded and placed in the Put it in a plastic bag or put it in a pocket. If there is no pocket, you can take it off and fold it on the handle for a short time, and put it on quickly after picking.
