Before going to the nucleic acid test, it is recommended to prepare a spare mask.
When queuing for nucleic acid testing, you must wear a mask correctly. When sampling, you can take off the mask when the staff has done good hand hygiene and take out the sampling cotton swab to prepare for sampling. You can take off the mask, hold the ear straps of the mask with both hands, and put on the mask immediately after sampling. and leave.
When the mask is found to be contaminated, it is recommended to replace the spare mask immediately, and throw the replaced mask into the "special bucket for discarded masks" set up at the sampling point.
If you do not have a spare mask, it is recommended not to reuse the mask you take off after returning home. It needs to be sealed or disinfected and then thrown into the "dedicated bucket for discarded masks" set up in the community, or put in a plastic bag and sealed and discarded into other garbage collection containers.
