Giani: “Traceability and rapid responses to counteract the spread of Covid.” For school-age children, drive and take specific quick tests

coronavirus swabStarting tomorrow, Sunday, October 18, the single regional portal for online swab booking and rapid tests. No more waiting and phone calls to the cup, no more queues. For school-age children, drive through specific quick tests.

Starting at 8 a.m. tomorrow, therefore, in total autonomy and at any time of the day or night, including holidays, it will be possible to reserve a swab or a quick test with four simple steps, four quick actions that include : 1) open the site https: / /prenotatampone.sanita.toscana.it/ from your home computer, but also from a smartphone or tablet; 2) enter the tax code, mobile phone number and electronic prescription number; 3) choose your preferred garrison or district, select the date and time you want to make the withdrawal; 4) wait for the receipt of a confirmation sms with the possibility of printing the memo.

The molecular test report can be collected digitally, even from home, accessing the electronic medical record with the Health Card, with Spid or with an electronic identity card, but also from the recent dedicated portal https: //referticovid.sanita .toscana. that.

“The Tuscan model for managing the health emergency determined by Covid is based on the 3T system: test, follow-up and treatment. The most critical phase – declares President Eugenio Giani- in this second phase of the pandemic, is undoubtedly the hyssop, intended to analyze all cases, but especially asymptomatic cases with high levels, which can multiply the infection, which today it represents around 70% of positive cases. Therefore, this new phase requires a strategic organization of the collection points, accompanied by a high production test capacity. Precisely for this reason, Tuscany once again resorts to the use of new digital health platforms, which, among other things, have characterized the way of dealing with this emergency period and which, due to their high degree of innovation, have recently been awarded nationally . This kind of approach to the problem of the organization of swabs is an absolute novelty in Italy, of which we should be proud. Our system is also a point of reference for other Italian regions ”.

The news does not end there. To overcome the lack of reagents or devices on the part of the supplier companies, Tuscany has differentiated, in collaboration with Estar, the production channels of molecular tests on multiple technologies and, therefore, also on antigenic tests of various types.

In the case of tests for the qualitative determination of specific antigens for SARS-CoV-2, given the speed of execution, which ranges from 15 to 30 minutes, these will be dedicated mainly to school-age children, thus meeting the needs of families and schools for quick answers. In addition to the reservation portal, the drive throughs (due to its mobile nature) will use the App developed by the Tuscany Region, called #ascuolainsalute, which will allow operators to register the acceptance and execution of the test itself, directly on the site.

“This is a highly digitized service that optimizes processes in its absolute ease of use. Introducing this new online method also on the swab front means further simplifying the process and saving time for citizens, family members and caregivers, not to mention simplifying the complex phases that characterize the testing process. We have already experimented with success with the previous safe travel and back-to-school portals “, the director of the Directorate for Citizenship Rights and Social Cohesion, Carlo Tomassini, and the head of the innovation and digital health sector explain during the course from the Tuscany Region, Andrea Belardinelli. from today’s press conference to present the latest technological tool, dedicated to simplifying the lives of citizens.
