Today (August 5th) morning, the the State Council Press Office held a policy briefing, and the heads of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Health and Wellness Commission introduced the situation of improving the testing capacity of Covid-19.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, by the end of July, there were 4.84 million people with daily nucleic acid detection capacity, 4,946 medical institutions with nucleic acid detection capacity and more than 38,000 detection technicians, and nearly 200 million reagents and more than 12,000 sets of equipment had been sent to hospitals, disease control centers, testing institutions and customs ports at all levels in the country. Guaranteed the completion of the Wuhan General Assembly War with 10 million people detected, the tough battle in Beijing with 10 million people detected, the normalized positional warfare imported by foreign defense in Heilongjiang, Guangdong and Shanghai, and the emergency assault warfare in Xinjiang and Dalian in recent days, and realized the requirements of "should check and check" and "willing to check and check".
The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that the next step will focus on four tasks.The first is to promote the construction of testing capacity.On the premise of strengthening the prevention of biological safety risks, we will ensure that the national tertiary general hospitals, infectious disease hospitals, disease control institutions at all levels and a county-level hospital in the county have the ability to detect nucleic acids before autumn and winter. At the same time, make overall use of institutions such as disease control, medical care and third-party testing, strengthen the construction of mobile testing power, and be able to dispatch quickly in the early stage of the outbreak, and combine local testing power to complete the testing task as soon as possible.The second is to step up the training of testing personnel.The national and provincial centers for disease control and prevention, clinical inspection centers and other organizations carry out training on nucleic acid detection technology to meet the increasing demand for detection capacity building.The third is to speed up scientific research and review and registration.Accelerate the development progress of rapid testing products, create application scenario conditions, and help products to be approved for use as soon as possible. Develop products with short detection time, high sensitivity and simple operation to improve detection accuracy and efficiency. At the same time, promote the research and development of antigen detection and other new technologies and new products, and further enrich the technical means of detection and screening. Strengthen the early intervention of evaluation and registration, promote more new products to enter the emergency approval channel, and shorten the time to market.The fourth is to strengthen the production guarantee of detection reagents and equipment.Help enterprises to stabilize and expand production, guide enterprises to continuously optimize the supply chain structure and continuously improve product performance. Give further play to the role of medical material support dispatching platform and strengthen the docking between production and demand. According to the capacity building needs of medical institutions and customs system, coordinate enterprises to organize production and do their best to supply. All parties concerned should strengthen the funds and financial support for R&D and production, so as to fully guarantee the improvement of nucleic acid detection ability.
