What hospitals in Shanghai do throat swab nucleic acid detection?

Yang Si Hospital, South Hospital of Shanghai Oriental Hospital, Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, Putuo Central Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University, Xinhua Hospital, all these hospitals can do throat swabs for nucleic acid detection.

The substance of nucleic acid detection is the nucleic acid of virus. Nucleic acid detection is to determine whether the patient is infected by COVID-19 by detecting whether there is nucleic acid of foreign invasive virus in respiratory tract samples, blood or feces. Therefore, once the nucleic acid is "positive", it can prove that there is a virus in the patient.

After COVID-19 infects the human body, it will first reproduce in the respiratory system, so we can judge whether the human body is infected with the virus by detecting the virus nucleic acid in sputum and nasopharyngeal swab. Therefore, positive nucleic acid detection can be used as a new standard for the diagnosis of novel coronavirus infection.

Matters needing attention in nucleic acid detection:

1. First of all, bring personal valid documents.

2. Pay attention to smoking, drinking and chewing gum 30 minutes before sampling.

3. Testers need to wear masks correctly during the test, take off masks before the test and put them on immediately after the test.

Please pay attention to wearing a mask all the time while waiting for the test.

5. Keep a distance of more than 1 m from others, do not talk or gather, obey the instructions of the on-site staff, and complete the work processes such as code scanning, registration and sampling in an orderly manner.

6. If nasopharyngeal swab is collected, there may be a small amount of nosebleed, which generally does not require special treatment. If there is a lot of bleeding, please go to the hospital for treatment in time.

7. If the COVID-19 vaccine is inoculated on the same day, the nucleic acid test can only be carried out after 24 hours.
