On January 17, at a press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic held in Xingtai City, Hebei, it was reported that the nucleic acid test results of Longyao County had been misrepresented.
Once the news was released, it attracted widespread attention. How did this misreporting incident occur and what is the latest situation?
Let's look at the CCTV reporter's investigation and interview in Longyao County, Hebei Province.
Hastily finalized testing cooperation without signing a contract
Longyao County has a population of more than 440,000 people, and the local medical system's nucleic acid detection capacity is 1,800 tubes per day, and mixed detection at a ratio of 1:10 can complete up to 18,000 people in a single day.
However, the whole county needs to complete nucleic acid testing within 2 days, and local testing capabilities are far from meeting the demand.
At the early stage of the local epidemic, when the first round of nucleic acid testing for all employees was carried out, the Longyao County Health and Health Bureau signed an entrusted contract with a third-party company in Hebei to perform the test; when it entered the second round of nucleic acid testing for all employees, The company stated that it was unable to participate on the grounds that the inspection task was too heavy.
The Longyao County Health Bureau urgently began to look for new cooperation forces, and contacted Zhai Moumou, the business representative of Jinan Huaxi Medical Inspection Company, who was promoting business in neighboring counties.
On January 12, Longyao County will soon conduct the second round of nucleic acid testing for all employees.
At 23:00 on the evening of January 11, Zhai XX sent pictures of the company's relevant qualification documents to Zhang Xianbo, the director of the Longyao County Health Bureau through WeChat. After that, the communication between the two parties was mostly on WeChat.
Reporter:
When you asked him to finalize the matter, you didn't meet him, did you?
Zhang Xianbo, Director of Longyao County Health Bureau:
Yes.
Reporter:
Never met at all?
Zhang Xianbo, Director of Longyao County Health Bureau: I
haven't met.
Reporter:
Does he provide you with the testing capabilities and testing qualifications of some companies in WeChat?
Zhang Xianbo, Director of Longyao County Health Bureau: I have
provided the qualifications.
At that time, I asked him if my amount is not small, (detected in two days) more than 300,000 people can win it.
He said yes, I have this testing ability.
According to Zhang Xianbo, Zhai said that the company's official seal was in Jinan, Shandong and could not sign a formal contract.
In view of the tight time, the two sides first reached an oral agreement.
Zhang Xianbo, director of Longyao County Health Bureau:
Because he agreed to sign the company seal.
Reporter: It
means he has no time to stamp the company's chapter.
Zhang Xianbo
,
Director of Longyao County Health and Health Bureau:
Yes, it's late, mainly because time is in a hurry.
Zhang Xianbo said that before choosing the company in Jinan, they had communicated with the Xingtai City Health Bureau, which also reflected the problem of insufficient nucleic acid testing capabilities.
I chose this company after getting a response from "find a third party on my own."
Reporter:
What about the result of the communication with the Health Bureau of Xingtai City?
Zhang Xianbo, Director of Longyao County Health Bureau:
(Xingtai) The Municipal Health Bureau said that our ability is limited now, and you have to entrust a third party if you want to do it quickly.
Reporter:
They didn't think of a way to coordinate the province's (testing agencies) to provide some list of telephone numbers. Did they arrange for you at that time?
Zhang Xianbo, Director of Longyao County Health Bureau: There
was no arrangement at that time.
Reporter:
No arrangement.
Zhang Xianbo, Director of Longyao County Health Bureau:
Yes.
The county health and health director reported the verbal "negative" conclusion in advance
From January 12th to 13th, Longyao County conducted the second round of nucleic acid testing for all employees. The testing task passed through Zhai XX and was undertaken by Jinan Huaxi Medical Laboratory Co., Ltd.
Subsequently, Zhai XX has been communicating information about nucleic acid testing to Zhang Xianbo, director of the Longyao County Health and Health Bureau through WeChat.
In the early morning of January 14, Zhai XX reported the nucleic acid test results to Zhang Xianbo via WeChat, saying: All the reports came out and they were negative.
At around 8 pm on the 14th, Zhang Xianbo's WeChat urged Zhai XX to upload Longyao's data to the system tonight for the villagers to see.
Zhai XX replied: No one sent the result.
Jinan Huaxi company business representative Zhai Moumou:
I will not be able to transmit the data until the day after tomorrow, because there is no staff to transmit the data here in these two days, and the results were driven out in these two days.
In the absence of the official report data, Zhang Xianbo reported the "all negative" conclusions that Zhai had verbally conveyed in advance.
Zhang Xianbo, director of Longyao County Health Bureau:
Nucleic acid testing is mainly for blocking the virus and detecting cases early.
Sometimes phone calls, sometimes mobile phones (feedback), and send the test report afterwards.
Reporter:
All the verbal feedback first?
Zhang Xianbo
,
Director of Longyao County Health Bureau:
Well, give us feedback first.
Reporter: The
process is like this?
Zhang Xianbo, Director of Longyao County Health Bureau: It
cannot be said that the process is like this.
Reporter: In other
words, the actual operation is like this.
Zhang Xianbo, Director of Longyao County Health Bureau: The
actual operation is like this, and then the electronic report is sent over.
Three cases were positive after two days of false reporting
However, two days later, on the morning of January 16, Zhai Moumou reported that among the samples submitted for inspection, a 1:10 mixed test sample was found to be positive, and then it was determined that 3 positive infections were found in Longyao County, including 2 cases. Normal type, 1 case was asymptomatic.
Based on this situation, the local government quickly started the flow adjustment work and conducted isolation observation on all close contacts and sub-closers.
On January 23, the local government informed that among the close contacts of the 3 positive infected persons, another positive patient was added.
Police: Zhai Moumou made a false report
After investigation, Jinan Huaxi Medical Laboratory Co., Ltd. belongs to Shandong Nuclear Gene Technology Co., Ltd. In this regard, Shandong Jinan Public Security Bureau assisted Hebei Xingtai police to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the company involved.
The reporter also came to Jinan Huaxi Medical Laboratory Co., Ltd. to understand the situation.
Wang Pingyuan, general manager of the enterprise, said that they received samples from Zhai XX. The first batch of samples was sent on January 12, and the last batch of samples was sent on the evening of January 13. According to the fastest speed, January 16 All the samples submitted for inspection can be tested in the next day.
Wang Pingyuan, general manager of Jinan Huaxi Medical Inspection Co., Ltd.:
Because our (testing) production capacity is limited, our production capacity is between 45,000 and 50,000 tubes a day.
I have counted it. I think about 200,000 tubes on the night of the 13th, and it will take five days to finish all the 200,000 tubes.
However, because of the large amount, we only collected specimens with a capacity of 5 days.
We follow the normal process. We completed all the tests at 8:30 pm on the 16th, so we should tell him after 8:30 pm (the evening on the 16th) and send him the inspection report stamped by our company. Can't say it verbally.
Fang Xing, head of the Food, Drug and Environmental Crime Investigation Detachment of the Jinan Public Security Bureau:
On the morning of the 16th, Wang Pingyuan informed Zhai Moumou that the sample was still positive after rechecking the sample, and asked Zhai Moumou again whether he had notified the client.
At this time, Zhai told Wang Pingyuan that he had informed the client that all the test samples were negative on the 14th.
It now appears that, before Huaxi Company has officially issued a test report, Zhai Moumou falsely reported test results on his own initiative.

At present, the case is filed by the Xingtai Public Security Bureau, Hebei. The suspect Zhai Moumou has been criminally detained by Xingtai Police, and the investigation is still ongoing.
The Hebei Provincial Health Commission has focused on increasing the quality control of nucleic acid testing laboratories.
After the misreporting incident occurred, the third round of nucleic acid testing for all employees in Longyao County was taken over by the city's public institutions under the coordination of Xingtai City.
At the same time, Longyao County urgently purchased equipment with 10,000 tube inspection capabilities.
In response to the problems exposed by this incident, the Hebei Provincial Health Commission requires all localities to file nucleic acid tests with the superior health department. Provincial health departments can inquire about the actual laboratory testing on the website of the National Health Commission’s Clinical Laboratory Center. ability.
Liu Yundong, a staff member of the Medical Treatment Team of Hebei Leading Group for Response to the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic: The
National Health Commission’s Clinical Laboratory Center has a website, and the corresponding capabilities of each testing agency must be reported on it. If the grassroots does not master it, at least the provinces and cities can Help him to investigate.
One is to make inquiries from the website, and the other directly communicates with relevant departments across provinces to reduce some of these situations.
At present, the Hebei Provincial Health Commission has focused on increasing the quality control of nucleic acid testing laboratories, and requires all regions to select nucleic acid testing laboratories with standardized management and strong testing capabilities according to task requirements, undertake centralized testing tasks, and require the establishment of timely notifications The work system and coordination mechanism disperse the testing pressure to ensure the timeliness and effectiveness of testing.
