If someone needs to be tested for the contact investigation, the GP can request an appointment at one of the 17 outpatient sampling points if the applicant is asymptomatic and has no complaints, said Bence Rétvári, parliamentary secretary of state at the Ministry of Human Resources, on Sunday.

Coronavirus – the second wave

Half a year after the spring outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the second wave of the pandemic has arrived. The radical increase in the number of infected is forcing more and more countries to reimpose restrictions, although the world economy has not even recovered from the effects of the spring outbreak. According to the posters, the second wave also reached Hungary. Follow our news!

In this case, you do not have to wait for the ambulance, but you can participate in the tests at the same time with the help of your GP; rescue workers take the sample at that sampling point.

Those waiting to be tested are called in at 30-minute intervals, with a maximum of 15 people in half an hour. The tests are carried out between 8 am and 10 pm.
