Social Medicine expert Lu Zuxun explained the significance of nucleic acid detection
Yangtze River Daily News (Reporter Huang Qi) Nucleic acid detection in Wuhan is in full swing. As of May 19, more than half of the sampling work has been completed. On the same day, Lu Zuxun, a social medicine expert, director of the Social Medicine Branch of the Chinese Society of Preventive Medicine, and a professor at the School of Public Health of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, explained the significance of Wuhan ’s national nucleic acid detection: Economic and social significance. "
Professor Lu Zunxun said, "Wuhan universal nucleic acid testing has important political significance. The overseas epidemic situation continues to develop, and the cumulative number of new crowns in the world has exceeded 4.8 million cases. Some countries have also proposed large-scale testing. Combined with the current international situation, Wuhan has carried out universal nucleic acid testing It can provide experience reference for other countries, including the implementation of path methods, quality management, problems encountered and solutions. The centralized action of national nucleic acid detection demonstrates China ’s strength and determination to fight against epidemics. Time is short and tasks are important. We must focus on efficiency and quality. So far, more than half of the sampling work has been completed, which is very remarkable and shows the strength of Wuhan ’s epidemic resistance. "
He believes that the development of universal nucleic acid detection in Wuhan also has important economic significance. National screening, comprehensive screening of asymptomatic infected persons, as much as possible to find potential sources of infection, reduce the risk of resuming labor and resuming work and returning to school in Wuhan. Wuhan currently needs to coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development. The results of the national nucleic acid test can provide a basis for government decision-making and boost the confidence of cities and market players. On the other hand, Chinese enterprises in the epidemic encounter different levels of difficulties. Screening and publishing the results in time can respond to the concerns of all sectors of the society, eliminate doubts, and help enterprises in China to resume production as soon as possible.
Professor Lu Zuxun said: "From the social level, the implementation of the national nucleic acid test reflects the party and government's concerns about the health and safety of the people. The cost of the test is all borne by the urban finances. The people do not need to spend a penny. Very welcome. Extensive development of nucleic acid testing is conducive to eliminating the residents' anxiety and anxiety. Residents are very happy after having tested no cases of nucleic acid positives in many communities. The sigh is finally relieved. "
"From the perspective of epidemic prevention and control, the implementation of universal nucleic acid testing is the initiative of the government to comprehensively eliminate the hidden dangers of the epidemic. Once an asymptomatic infected person is found, it will be isolated and observed immediately, and the prevention and control gate will be moved forward. A test of control effectiveness, relevant data has important reference and research value. "He said.
Professor Lu Zuxun suggested that in the process of conducting national nucleic acid detection, Wuhan should strive to do a good job of organization and implementation, ensure the quality of the detection, and carry out scientific evaluations. The city will do a good job of serving the people together.
