Ukuqonda Ukubaluleka kweeNcov Testkits kwiLizwe lanamhlanje

Emva kokuqhambuka kwe-COVID-19, imfuno yehlabathi yezisombululo zovavanyo ezisebenzayo ayizange ibe phezulu. Phakathi kwazo, ikhithi yovavanyo yeNovel Coronavirus (NCoV) ibe sisixhobo esibalulekileyo ekulweni nentsholongwane. Njengoko sijonga ubunzima bale ngxaki yezempilo yehlabathi, ukuqonda ukubaluleka kwekhithi yovavanyo yeNovel Coronavirus (NCoV) kubalulekile kubantu ngabanye nakwiinkqubo zempilo yoluntu.

Uvavanyo olutsha lwe-coronavirus (NCoV) Iikiti zenzelwe ukufumanisa i-SARS-CoV-2, intsholongwane ebangela i-COVID-19. Ezi kiti zovavanyo ziza ngeentlobo ngeentlobo, kubandakanya uvavanyo lwe-PCR (polymerase chain reaction), uvavanyo lwe-antigen olukhawulezayo, kunye novavanyo lwe-antibody. Uvavanyo ngalunye lunemisebenzi yalo ethile kwaye ludlala indima ebalulekileyo kwiimeko ezahlukeneyo. Umzekelo, uvavanyo lwe-PCR luthathwa njengomgangatho wegolide wokufumanisa usulelo olusebenzayo ngenxa yobuthathaka balo obuphezulu kunye nokuchaneka kwalo. Uvavanyo lwe-antigen olukhawulezayo, kwelinye icala, lubonelela ngeziphumo ngokukhawuleza, okwenza ukuba zilungele ukuhlolwa okukhulu kwiindawo ezifana nezikolo, iindawo zomsebenzi, kunye neziganeko.

Esinye sezizathu eziphambili zokuba izixhobo zovavanyo ezintsha ze-coronavirus (NCoV) zibaluleke kangaka yindima yazo ekulawuleni ukusasazeka kwale ntsholongwane. Ukufunyanwa kwangethuba kwamatyala e-COVID-19 kuvumela ukuba abantu abosulelekileyo bahlukaniswe ngexesha elifanelekileyo, ngaloo ndlela kunciphisa amazinga okusasazeka. Oku kubaluleke kakhulu kwiindawo zoluntu, apho abantu abathwala iimpawu zokugula banokusasaza le ntsholongwane bengazi. Ngokusebenzisa izixhobo zovavanyo ezintsha ze-coronavirus (NCoV), amagosa ezempilo karhulumente anokusebenzisa iindlela zokungenelela ezijoliswe kuzo, ezinje ngokulandelela abo baqhagamshelwe kunye namanyathelo okuvalelwa bodwa, ukuze kuthintelwe ukuqhambuka ngaphambi kokuba kuqhubeke.

Ukongeza, izixhobo zovavanyo lwe-COVID-19 zidlala indima ebalulekileyo ekuphuhliseni imigaqo-nkqubo kunye namaqhinga ezempilo yoluntu. Idatha eqokelelwe ngovavanyo olubanzi inokunceda abasemagunyeni bezempilo baqonde ukuxhaphaka kwale ntsholongwane kumaqela ahlukeneyo. Olu lwazi lubalulekile ekwenzeni izigqibo ezinolwazi malunga nokuvalelwa ekhaya, imiqathango yokuhamba, kunye neephulo zokugonya. Umzekelo, ukuba ummandla ubona ukwanda kwamatyala aqinisekisiweyo, oorhulumente basekuhlaleni banokuthatha inyathelo elikhawulezileyo ukunciphisa ukuqhambuka kunye nokugcina uluntu lukhuselekile.

Ukongeza kwimiphumo yempilo yoluntu, iikiti zovavanyo lwe-COVID-19 zinokunceda abantu ukuba balawule impilo yabo. Ngenxa yokufumaneka ngokubanzi kweekiti zovavanyo zasekhaya, abantu banokuvavanya imeko yabo ye-COVID-19 ngokulula ngaphandle kokutyelela iziko lezempilo. Olu ncedo alunciphisi nje kuphela umthwalo kwinkqubo yezempilo, kodwa lukwakhuthaza abantu abaninzi ukuba bavavanywe rhoqo. Uvavanyo oluqhelekileyo lubalulekile, ngakumbi kwabo basenokuba bachaphazeleke yintsholongwane okanye abafumana iimpawu. Ngokuqonda imeko yabo, abantu banokwenza izigqibo ezinolwazi malunga nemisebenzi yabo kunye nokusebenzisana kwabo, benegalelo kwimizamo iyonke yokunciphisa ubhubhane.

Nangona kunjalo, xa usebenzisa izixhobo zovavanyo lwe-COVID-19, kubalulekile ukuqonda imida yazo. Uvavanyo olukhawulezileyo, nangona lubonelela ngeziphumo ezikhawulezileyo, lusenokungachaneki njengovavanyo lwe-PCR, ingakumbi xa kubonwa imithwalo ephantsi yentsholongwane. Ke ngoko, kubalulekile ukulandelela iziphumo zovavanyo ezikhawulezileyo ezilungileyo ngovavanyo lokuqinisekisa lwe-PCR. Ukongeza, iziphumo ezingezizo aziqinisekisi ukuba umntu akanayo intsholongwane, ingakumbi ukuba bekukho ukuvezwa kwayo kutshanje. Kubalulekile ukufundisa uluntu ngokusetyenziswa ngokufanelekileyo kunye nokutolikwa kweziphumo zovavanyo ukuqinisekisa ukuba abantu abazithathi lula iindlela zokhuseleko.

Ngamafutshane, uvavanyo lwe-coronavirus luyinxalenye ebalulekileyo yempendulo yethu kubhubhane we-COVID-19. Azincedi nje kuphela ekufumaneni nasekulawuleni amatyala kwangethuba, kodwa zikwabonelela ngedatha ebalulekileyo yokwenza izigqibo ngempilo yoluntu. Njengoko siqhubeka sihamba kule meko inzima, kubalulekile ukuba sisebenzise ezi zixhobo ngokufanelekileyo nangendlela efanelekileyo. Kulapho kuphela apho sinokusebenzisana ukukhusela uluntu lwethu kwaye ekugqibeleni soyise le ngxaki yempilo yehlabathi.
