On the afternoon of September 8th, the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference to introduce the situation of scientific and accurate epidemic prevention and control, and to answer media questions.
Da-chuan Li, deputy director of the Medical Administration and Hospital Authority of the National Health and Wellness Commission, said that the National Health and Wellness Commission attached great importance to the quality management of nucleic acid testing, established a standardized system in the aspects of approval and access of nucleic acid testing institutions, personnel qualification management and quality control evaluation, and implemented the whole process supervision of nucleic acid testing. Specifically, a lot of work has been done in strict qualification management of nucleic acid testing institutions and personnel, standardizing sample collection, preservation and transshipment, and strengthening supervision and management in daily and emergency situations. At the same time, the frequency of laboratory quality control and evaluation is encrypted, and the implementation of the withdrawal mechanism of nucleic acid detection is strengthened. The "traffic light" system shall be implemented for nucleic acid testing institutions, and the green light shall be given priority approval to eligible organizers. At the same time, resolutely implement the yellow light rectification and red light exit mechanism. Local health departments should implement the above requirements, strengthen the supervision of nucleic acid testing institutions, give warnings, informed criticism, cancel the qualification of nucleic acid testing for different violations, and even revoke the Practice License of Medical Institutions to ensure the quality of testing.
For areas where there is no epidemic situation, it is necessary to carry out normalized nucleic acid detection in accordance with the requirements of the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan, do a good job in monitoring and early warning of the epidemic situation, and do a good job in organizing and preparing for nucleic acid detection in accordance with the third edition of the guidelines for the implementation of regional nucleic acid detection organizations.
