CCTV News:The Comprehensive Group of Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council released the newly revised "Implementation Guide for Regional novel coronavirus Nucleic Acid Detection Organization (Third Edition)" today (March 22nd). The new edition of the Guide requires that the risk of epidemic spread should be scientifically judged, the scope of regional nucleic acid detection should be delineated, and the quality and efficiency of nucleic acid detection should be further improved.
The third edition of "Guide" requires that after the outbreak of COVID-19, the districts and cities where it is located, including megacities with a permanent population of more than 10 million, should complete the regional nucleic acid detection tasks within 24 hours. When necessary, it can be guaranteed through regional collaborative support; If necessary, you can apply for national support.
The third edition of the Guide emphasizes the accurate delineation of the scope of detection, and the "all staff" in the second edition of the Guide is revised to "area", and the size of the area is determined by the needs of epidemic prevention and control.
