On December 9, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council held a press conference on the guarantee of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine medical services.

Jiao Yahui, director of the Department of Medical Affairs of the National Health and Health Commission, said that after the promulgation of the new ten articles, it is no longer required to conduct nucleic acid testing for all employees in administrative regions, and the implementation measures issued by various regions have also been put forward. It is no longer required to show negative nucleic acid when entering public places prove.

However, nucleic acid test results are still required to go to special places such as medical institutions and elderly care institutions.

Considering that in the near future, there will still be some people who need nucleic acid testing, the National Health Commission has also issued a notice requesting all localities not to arbitrarily remove nucleic acid sampling points during the process of optimizing and adjusting epidemic prevention and control measures. It is necessary to keep the layout and scale of the existing nucleic acid sampling points unchanged, and to keep them for a period of time to meet the needs of nucleic acid testing for those who are "willing to do all the testing".

  Jiao Yahui pointed out that in the future, the layout of nucleic acid sampling points and related requirements will be adjusted accordingly based on continuous optimization and adjustment of measures.

How long this layout and scale will be maintained and when it can be withdrawn depends entirely on the needs of the society.

When the demand for "willing to check everything" is no longer there, or there are very few, then the layout of nucleic acid sampling points will be adjusted accordingly.
