13 nucleic acid testing test tubes discarded in Chengdu

These occurred at different times, but what they have in common is that they all occurred in a large hospital in Chengdu. Nucleic acid test tubes in hospitals are usually maintained and stored by professionals to ensure their safety and hygiene. However, during the epidemic, hospitals needed to increase nucleic acid testing indicators, resulting in staff not having enough time and energy to maintain and store test tubes.

In this case, some tubes may be discarded in public places, such as trash cans or parking lots. If these test tubes are discarded, they pose a risk of infection to others. Additionally, discarded test tubes may be contaminated by wildlife such as insects or mice, posing a health risk to others.

In order to avoid these risks, hospitals should strengthen the maintenance and storage of nucleic acid detection test tubes to ensure that they are in a safe and hygienic condition. In addition, hospitals should also encourage staff to pay more attention and care to nucleic acid testing tubes as time and energy allow to ensure their safety and hygiene.
