The nucleic acid test, fully known as the Novel Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Test, can be done on an empty stomach and with breakfast.
Currently, routine novel coronavirus nucleic acid testing, typically using nasal or throat swab sampling, is designed to detect whether a patient is infected with the novel coronavirus and to assess whether the diagnosed patient is cured.
The novel coronavirus nucleic acid test involves the extraction of nasal or pharyngeal secretions from the patient to continue with subsequent testing, and the nucleic acid test is not affected by fasting or eating breakfast. However, due to the sensitivity of individual people to sampling, can be collected on an empty stomach, to prevent the test to stimulate the nasal cavity or pharynx caused by nausea, vomiting, sneezing, tears and other discomforts.
At present, the epidemic prevention and control situation is serious, nucleic acid collection is everyone’s responsibility. When collecting nucleic acid, pay attention to keep one meter distance, do not spit, do not stay outside after collecting, follow the arrangement of epidemic prevention commanders, and evacuate the site in an orderly manner.
