The maximum monthly salary is 20,000, and many places are urgently recruiting nucleic acid samplers. Why is the salary of this position so high?

According to news reports, recently, there are job requirements for nucleic acid samplers on many recruitment websites. The highest salary is 20,000 per month. Some companies also provide room and board, five insurances and one fund. Even options, etc., but the requirements for applicants are not high, such as more than one year of experience, being able to drive, etc. Educational background is also a college or technical secondary school degree.

So, why is the salary of this position so high?

First of all, it is hard work. Everyone has experienced nucleic acid testing, and some people have been tested more than once. We saw the testing personnel wearing protective clothing, masks and gloves, sitting under the shed, and their work seemed to be easy. However, protective clothing is not easy to wear, especially in summer. Completely airtight protective clothing will become stuffy and uncomfortable after wearing it for a while. The same goes for gloves. The rubber gloves don't allow any wind to pass through, which is quite uncomfortable. Moreover, the protective clothing cannot be taken off easily, and you have to change into a new one after taking it off. Some samplers work continuously, during which they cannot go to the toilet, drink water, or move back and forth. Therefore, this job looks easy, but it is actually very hard.

Secondly, the work is dangerous. Generally speaking, in addition to routine nucleic acid testing, large-scale nucleic acid testing is only carried out after the outbreak. At this time, it is impossible to guarantee whether there are any infected people among the people who come for nucleic acid testing. The people closest to the infected person and the virus are the nucleic acid testers. On May 4, Beijing reported a case of infection by a nucleic acid sampler. He was infected while visiting key groups to take nucleic acid samples. In other words, nucleic acid samplers basically appear in the most dangerous places and have direct contact with dangerous people, so there is a risk of infection.

Furthermore, it is a heavy responsibility. At present, our main screening method for the virus is nucleic acid testing. Although it is mixed collection, positive samples will be tested repeatedly for multiple rounds until the diagnosis is confirmed. Therefore, the position of nucleic acid sampler is very important.

To sum up, the job of a nucleic acid sampler is hard and dangerous, and also carries heavy responsibilities. It is natural that the salary should be higher.
