China News Service, Beijing, March 19 (Reporter Du Yan) Li Ang, deputy director and spokesperson of the Beijing Municipal Health Commission, said at a press conference on the prevention and control of the new coronary pneumonia in Beijing held today that in order to implement the State Council's response to the new coronavirus The comprehensive group of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the virus pneumonia epidemic has notified the requirements of the "New Coronavirus Antigen Detection Application Plan (Trial)" to promote antigen screening, nucleic acid diagnosis and monitoring modes, guide Beijing to scientifically and rationally apply the new coronavirus antigen detection, and further improve the ability of early detection and prevention and control work efficiency, combined with the capital epidemic prevention and control requirements, Beijing actively promotes the implementation of the new coronavirus antigen detection work, regulates the application scenarios and populations of antigen detection, clarifies the results interpretation standards, and refines the disposal management process, etc., to ensure that antigen detection screening and Nucleic acid detection and diagnosis are seamless and effective complementarity.
One is the application of primary medical and health institutions.
When primary medical and health institutions admit patients with respiratory symptoms, fever and other symptoms within 5 days of onset of symptoms, the first choice is to cooperate with hospitals or nucleic acid testing institutions to conduct nucleic acid sampling and testing for patients with symptoms. Health institutions can carry out antigen testing at the same time. In the case of patients requiring emergency treatment, primary medical and health institutions can carry out antigen testing while providing emergency treatment to patients.
For those who test positive for antigen, primary medical and health institutions should immediately report to the health and health commission and disease control department in their jurisdiction, and call 120. In accordance with the requirements for the transfer of personnel related to the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, negative pressure ambulances should be used to transfer the antigen-positive person to a fever setting. Nucleic acid testing in outpatient medical institutions.
For those who have negative antigen tests, primary medical and health institutions will follow the procedures of clinics and other primary medical institutions for patients with 11 types of symptoms such as fever, and the patients will complete nucleic acid testing within 72 hours after seeing a doctor according to relevant requirements.
The second is the application of isolation personnel.
Personnel in home isolation observation, close contact and sub-close contact, entry isolation observation, closed control area and control area shall be managed by relevant management departments (such as communities, villages and towns, isolation points, building supervisory units, etc.); during the isolation observation period Carry out nucleic acid testing in accordance with the requirements of the current prevention and control plan, and conduct antigen self-tests once a day for the first 5 days; people in buildings, buildings and related units that need to be temporarily controlled due to the entry and exit of positive infected persons or close and sub-close contacts may be On the day of control, an antigen test is used for rapid initial screening, and nucleic acid test is carried out according to the requirements of the current prevention and control plan during the control period; if the antigen test is positive, nucleic acid test must be carried out immediately for confirmation.
The third is the self-inspection of community (village) residents.
Community (village) residents who have the need for self-testing can purchase antigen detection reagents for self-testing by themselves through retail pharmacies, online sales platforms, and other channels.
If the antigen test is positive, the residents should immediately report to the community (village) where they are located, and the community (village) should contact 120, and in accordance with the requirements for the transfer of personnel related to the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, they should be transferred to a medical institution with a fever clinic for nucleic acid testing, and at the same time Report to the district health committee and disease control department.
Sampling swabs, sampling tubes, test cards and other medical items used by positive persons need to be put into sealed bags and transported to medical institutions for disposal as medical waste.
If the antigen test is negative, asymptomatic residents can be closely observed, and then undergo antigen or nucleic acid testing when necessary. Symptomatic residents are advised to go to a medical institution with a fever clinic as soon as possible for a nucleic acid test. , Avoid going out, and conduct an antigen self-test every day for 5 consecutive days.
Fourth, other monitoring personnel need to be strengthened.
For those who have completed the quarantine observation and are in the health observation period, it is recommended to perform antigen self-tests during the interval of nucleic acid testing.
For those who enter (return) Beijing, it is recommended to conduct an antigen self-test as soon as possible after entering (return) Beijing, and complete the nucleic acid test within 72 hours according to the time limit.
For those who have recently purchased “four categories” of drugs and have 11 types of symptoms such as fever and have visited a primary medical institution, it is recommended to perform an antigen self-test within 72 hours.
He emphasized that it should be noted that nucleic acid detection is still the basis for the diagnosis of new coronavirus infection. Antigen detection is characterized by rapidity and simplicity. detection.
Li Ang reminded the general public that if a positive result is found in the self-test, they must immediately perform their reporting duties and cooperate with relevant control measures.
In the next step, Beijing will further improve the supporting policies and measures for antigen testing, strengthen popularization and education, promote the standardized, orderly and smooth implementation of antigen testing, and effectively protect the health and safety of the public.
