On March 20, Shanghai held a press conference on epidemic prevention and control.
Wu Jinglei, director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, said that at present, Shanghai's daily maximum nucleic acid detection capacity has reached more than 1.9 million per person and single tube.
Antigen test is used as a supplement to new coronary pneumonia test. Nucleic acid test is still the basis for the diagnosis of new coronary pneumonia infection. A negative antigen test cannot replace a negative nucleic acid certificate.
Antigen detection is mainly used in the detection of high-risk, high-prevalence clusters of infections.
If the antigen test is positive, regardless of whether there are symptoms of respiratory tract, fever, etc., it should be reported immediately, and the relevant personnel should be transferred to a medical institution with a fever clinic for nucleic acid testing in accordance with regulations.
