Does Drinking Alcohol Affect New Crown Nucleic Acid Tests

Drinking alcohol does not usually affect the Neocoronavirus nucleic acid test, it just may cause discomfort during the test. Neocoronavirus is sensitive to 75% concentration of alcohol, but the alcohol concentration of drinking alcohol in daily life is not enough to kill Neocoronavirus, and has less effect on the detection of Neocoronavirus. Therefore, doing nucleic acid test after drinking alcohol will not affect the test result. After drinking alcohol, when doing throat swabs or nasal swabs, it tends to produce some irritation, which may induce symptoms such as nausea and vomiting and cause discomfort. Therefore, it is not recommended to do nucleic acid immediately after drinking, and it is better to wait for the alcohol to be metabolized in the body before doing the test in order to reduce the discomfort. Nucleic acid test needs to be conducted according to the arrangement of the local health epidemic prevention department, and a doctor can be consulted before the test to avoid any situation that may affect the test result.
