Can eating oranges affect nucleic acid testing?

Nucleic acid testing generally refers to neocoronavirus nucleic acid testing, and usually eating oranges does not affect neocoronavirus nucleic acid testing.
Neocoronavirus nucleic acid test is mainly used to detect whether people are suffering from new coronavirus pneumonia through throat swabs and nasal swabs. Usually, eating oranges before the test will not affect the new coronavirus nucleic acid test.
If you are sensitive to the way the test collects the sample, you may choose to take the test on an empty stomach to prevent vomiting.
People who have received the new coronavirus vaccine within 48 hours should avoid the new coronavirus test to prevent false positives. For those with abnormal results of the new coronavirus nucleic acid test, they should actively cooperate with their doctors to go to the isolation point for further examination and observation of their condition, so that the disease can be clarified as soon as possible and treatment measures can be taken.
At this time of the epidemic, it is recommended that people actively cooperate with the community to undergo the new coronavirus nucleic acid test. Wear a good mask when going out for testing, and keep a one-meter distance from others.
