China News Service, Beijing, December 10 (Zhang Yilin) ​​In the past few days, notices on the reduction of nucleic acid testing fees have been issued in many places to further improve nucleic acid testing services.

In addition, in order to encourage active testing, some regions have also proposed to reward those who actively perform nucleic acid screening with positive results.

Nucleic acid testing prices in many places are lowered again

  Recently, Sichuan, Shandong, Tianjin and other places issued notices on further price reductions for nucleic acid testing.

  On the 6th, the Tianjin Municipal Medical Insurance Bureau issued the "Notice on Adjusting the Price and Payment Standards for New Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Tests", clarifying that from December 10, 2021, the price of a single test for new coronavirus nucleic acid tests in public medical institutions will be adjusted to per person. 40 yuan, the price of 10-person mixed inspection and 5-person mixed inspection is uniformly adjusted to 9 yuan per person.

  Shandong Province made it clear that the CDC’s new coronavirus nucleic acid test single-person single-check fee rate was lowered to 35 yuan/person (including testing reagents), and the 10-person mixed test and 5-person mixed test charge standards were uniformly lowered to 10 yuan/person (including Detection reagent).

The regulations will be implemented from December 15, 2021, and will be effective during the epidemic.

  According to incomplete statistics, since November, more than ten provinces and cities including Fujian, Hebei, and Jiangsu have successively lowered the price of nucleic acid testing.

  In most provinces and cities, the price of single-person and single-test items has been reduced to 40 yuan/person, and the price of 5-person or 10-person mixed testing items has been lowered to 10 yuan/person.

  For example, in Gansu Province, the maximum price limit for single sample testing is adjusted to 40 yuan per person, and the maximum price limit for mixed sample testing is adjusted from 13 yuan per person to 10 yuan per person.

  Fujian Province has made it clear that the price of the new coronavirus nucleic acid test for 1 person and 1 test has been reduced from 53 yuan per person to 39 yuan, and the price of the 5 mixed 1 test and 10 in 1 mixed sampling test items has been uniformly reduced to 8 yuan per person.

On the evening of December 8, citizens took samples for nucleic acid testing at Tongren Hospital.

Nucleic acid testing services continue to improve

  In addition to lowering the price of nucleic acid testing, nucleic acid testing capabilities in various regions have also been continuously improving.

  On October 26, the National Health Commission issued the “Notice on Further Strengthening the Current Nucleic Acid Testing Services for the New Coronavirus” requiring that all secondary and above general hospitals, infectious disease hospitals, and disease control institutions at all levels should have nucleic acid testing. Ability and provide testing services.

  Nucleic acid testing agencies shall provide the society with 24-hour nucleic acid testing services.

In particular, for nucleic acid testing of people who are "willing to do all the tests", we must strive to report the results within 6 hours and push them to the masses in a timely manner through information technology to reduce waiting time.

  Recently, many regions have added a 24-hour "willing to check all tests" service nucleic acid testing agencies to expand the sampling points for nucleic acid testing.

  For example, on the 8th, the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission released a list of 48 medical institutions that provide 24-hour nucleic acid testing services.

Units or individuals can make appointments to carry out new coronavirus nucleic acid testing and sampling in accordance with the principle of voluntary self-pay.

  At the same time, community hospitals in many regions also set up nucleic acid testing sites to facilitate residents who urgently need nucleic acid testing.

  In addition, the speed and efficiency of nucleic acid detection in many places have been improved, and the detection capability has been further improved.

  Manzhouli, Inner Mongolia, introduced at a press conference held on the 7th that after nine rounds of large-scale nucleic acid testing, the total detection capacity has increased from 12,000 tubes/day to more than 125,000 tubes/day, fully satisfying the 24-hour large-scale nucleic acid testing in Manzhouli City. Needs to be completed within.

On December 8, citizens of Nangang District, Harbin City conducted nucleic acid sampling.

Those who take the initiative to detect positive will be rewarded!

  Recently, the epidemic situation in some areas has been repeated, and nucleic acid testing and investigation work has been carried out in many places.

  On the 7th, it was introduced at a press conference held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang that the three first cases of the epidemic in Zhejiang were all discovered during active testing and investigation.

  As a key part of epidemic prevention and control, the role of nucleic acid testing is still not to be ignored.

Some regions have proposed that rewards be given to those who take the initiative to carry out nucleic acid screening with positive results.

  Recently, Fuxin, Liaoning, and Jinzhou successively issued notices stating that they will take the initiative to carry out nucleic acid screening at the first time, feel unwell, and take the initiative to go to the fever clinic of medical institutions and explain the situation. Those who have a positive nucleic acid test result will be rewarded 20,000 yuan after verification. .

  Earlier, Harbin also issued a similar announcement, for actively conducting nucleic acid testing and consciously being unwell, taking the initiative to go to a medical institution to see a doctor and explain the situation. Those who have a positive nucleic acid test result will be rewarded 10,000 yuan after verification.
