Recently, the double eleven hurriedly passed, the whole country has entered the double eleven express delivery receiving peak period. With the domestic epidemic situation gradually grim, many courier packaging new crown nucleic acid rapid test positive news are popping up. Officials even issued a statement suggesting that the collection of express delivery to disinfection work, express packaging does not enter the house.
Officials for courier packaging new crown nucleic acid rapid test positive problem, the collection of courier put forward four recommendations:
1, advice risk areas temporarily do not send and receive couriers, couriers to do a good job of health testing;
2, courier transfer process to do a good job of protection, while disinfection;
3, the receipt of courier protection, courier packaging is not brought into the house;
4, after handling the courier to do a good job of hand hygiene work.
But the same, experts also put forward a point of view: the chances of contracting a new crown through the express is lower than a car accident. So what is the evidence to support this view? Let me tell you the following!
First of all, the new coronavirus is required to attach to living cells in order to replicate and reproduce itself, once it leaves the body will gradually die, and the dead virus is not infectious. Even if the surface of the item still has the new coronavirus alive, but also to the virus concentration is high enough, and did not do hand cleaning in time after contact, it is possible to be infected. Generally speaking, in the dry surface of the courier packaging, the virus can only survive 2-3 hours, and the courier in the process of transport has far exceeded this time, the possibility of survival of the new coronavirus is low.
Secondly, the courier issued in the high-risk areas, local policies generally require courier companies to do a good job of disinfection and protection, the possibility of the existence of live virus on the surface of the disinfected courier is also low and low.
Finally, the new coronavirus nucleic acid positive, new crown nucleic acid rapid detection is not necessarily the active virus. We all know that the new coronavirus nucleic acid rapid test is through the detection of virus-specific nucleic acid fragments, if the specific fragments will be traced by fluorescent markers on their markers. However, the nucleic acid of inactivated viruses still exists, and as long as it exists on the surface of the object, even if the inactivation is not infectious, the collection of the New Crown Nucleic Acid Rapid Test will still be positive for the New Crown Nucleic Acid Rapid Test. In other words, a positive rapid test for Nucleic acid in environmental samples is not necessarily infectious, as long as the virus is inactivated, people will not be infected after contact.
The above aspects are the arguments that support the expert's view that "the possibility of express infection is lower than in a car accident".
That said, is it so we do not need to protect the courier?
No! If you have contact with the environment, environmental samples of New Crown Nucleic Acid Rapid Test, we still recommend that you have a New Crown Nucleic Acid Rapid Test. After all, the New Crown pneumonia epidemic continues, and any possible infection appears, we can not ignore.
Most importantly, nucleic acid testing is now highly automated, and the rapid nucleic acid test for Neoplasmosis, with the "High Efficiency Amplification Reagent" and "Portable Amplification Instrument" as its core, has become more and more convenient, faster and more accurate.
The accuracy of nucleic acid testing is getting higher and higher. The status of nucleic acid testing as the "gold standard" is still unshakable.
