As an important tool for nucleic acid detection of variant strains of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2), the mobile air capsule construction laboratory is a key medical resource in the prevention and control of COVID-19. Medical staff, security guards, cleaners, maintenance workers and volunteers in the mobile air capsule construction laboratory have high contact frequency with the samples, so they have a high risk of infection with COVID-19. In order to reduce this risk, this article discusses the infection management measures in the aspects of wearing and taking off personal protective equipment, environmental health management, post use goods management, medical waste management, staff training management and disposal process after occupational exposure, and analyzed the common problems in operation, based on the operation process of Nanchong mobile air capsule construction laboratory. The purpose is to provide a reference for the construction and management of other mobile air capsule construction laboratory.
