Many places in Henan are openly recruiting nucleic acid testing personnel. Why are nucleic acid testing personnel in such short supply?

What is the most popular profession this summer? That must be the nucleic acid sampler. Recently, the topic #A company is recruiting nucleic acid samplers with a daily salary of 1,000 yuan# became a hot search on Weibo. At first, I thought it was just a marketing ploy. After checking, I just wanted to quietly ask: Dear, I would like to ask where can I submit my resume online?

"Have a nursing certificate and experience in nucleic acid sampling. The salary is 1,000 yuan/day. Not only is it provided with a year-end bonus, regular physical examinations, free hotel accommodation and five social insurances and one housing fund, but it also provides employees with vacations, travel, and individual stocks. "Option"; "Have a nursing certificate, a monthly salary of more than 10,000-15,000 yuan, sign a contract, take care of food and housing, full attendance, holiday benefits, five insurances and one fund, including hotel accommodation and catering industry subsidies."

Under the new coronavirus epidemic, normalized nucleic acid testing is becoming the "standard configuration" in major cities' fight against the epidemic. "Since the emergence of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, China has conducted nucleic acid tests on approximately 11.5 billion people." This is also a data transmitted by Li Jinming, director of the Office of the Clinical Testing Center of the National Health Commission, according to Central News on April 16, 2022. What is the definition of 11.5 billion people? Based on China's population of 1.41 billion, the average person has to do it 8 times.

Behind this huge price tag, not only money and material resources are consumed, but also human resources. On May 9, a video and telephone conference of the Joint Prevention and Control System of the State Council emphasized that cities should establish a 15-minute walking nucleic acid "sampling circle." Zheshang Securities estimates that if the 15-minute nucleic acid sampling circle is to be implemented, 320,000 monitoring points (including those already in hospitals) need to be set up across the country, because the number of tests will soar to 83 million people per day after normalized testing.

Therefore, if normalized nucleic acid testing becomes an inevitable trend, building a professional team will become an unavoidable topic. Regarding this issue, Yu Xuejie, a professor at the School of Public Health of Wuhan University, said that based on the past two years of epidemic prevention work, all parts of the country have accumulated relatively complete experience in nucleic acid testing, and the construction of sampling points is basically in terms of technical application. Problems that do not exist in the normalized nucleic acid testing work are likely to depend on the staff arrangement of the sampling team.

In January 2022, the Henan Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, the Provincial Health Commission, the Provincial Department of Finance, and the Provincial Department of Education jointly issued the "Notice on Carrying out Project-based Training for Personnel Related to Nucleic Acid Testing" to further strengthen the We will build a team of epidemic prevention personnel, expand the scope of operations and reserve energy for personnel with specialized skills such as nucleic acid testing.

According to the "Notice", the general direction in 2022 is to conduct study, training, investigation and evidence collection for more than 50,000 people in Henan Province before the end of the year. Among them, more than 20,000 people were trained to study and collect evidence on nucleic acid sampling, more than 10,000 people were trained to study and collect evidence on nucleic acid testing, more than 10,000 people were trained to study and collect evidence on disinfection and sterilization of natural environments and objects, and more than 10,000 people were trained to study and collect evidence for environmental sanitation management in public places. Training, investigation and evidence collection for more than 10,000 people.

Relevant departments should also realize that medical staff cannot be allowed to "generate electricity with love" every time. They are also ordinary people who eat smoke and fire. Of course, putting aside this remuneration issue, recruiting nucleic acid samplers itself is a good thing for medical staff.

Wang Li, who works at a community hospital in Haidian District, Beijing, told China News Weekly that the area is currently moving down to each community to do nucleic acid testing staff, mainly on secondments from the hospital. For medical staff, as the COVID-19 epidemic becomes more severe, nucleic acid testing becomes more and more frequent, and more and more staff are seconded.

Like Haidian District, many areas across the country use local public hospital systems to second staff to carry out nucleic acid sampling. Yu Xuejie, a professor of public health at Wuhan University, recently told the media that regular nucleic acid testing requires a large number of professional medical personnel to operate it. Before the arrival of the COVID-19 epidemic, most hospitals did not have staff professionally responsible for nucleic acid testing. They mainly arranged for staff in each department to be temporarily responsible. After the implementation of normalized nucleic acid testing, if the hospital allocates medical personnel to undertake this work, this work It may be unsustainable.

Therefore, if professional nucleic acid samplers can be recruited at this time, then the seconded medical staff can be returned to clinical medicine to the highest extent. This will not only ensure the normal operation of the hospital, but at the same time not delay the normal nucleic acid testing work.
