Infection prevention and control strategies of COVID -19 shelter nucleic acid testing base

Abstract:

Shelter nucleic acid testing base is the core facility to achieve rapid and large-scale nucleic acid screening and control of COVID -19 epidemic. However, due to its large number of testing institutions, complex sources and uneven levels of laboratorians, the risk of infection prevention and control is relatively high. A complete set of infection prevention and control plans and procedures during the practice in nucleic acid testing base at Zhangjiajie Institute of Aeronautical Engineering have been explored by staff: base site selection, layout, route planning, perfecting infection prevention and control organizational structure, formulating infection prevention and control system, personnel and route management and control, staff closed-loop management, training, use of personal protective equipment, biosafety management of nucleic acid testing, medical waste disposal, environmental surface disinfection, occupational exposure treatment, evacuation and terminal disinfection, medical observation of staff after finishing the mission. The measures have laid a solid foundation for the base to complete the goal of "zero missed diagnosis, zero infection, and zero transmission".
