Anyone can get a tampon. It is enough to go to an analysis laboratory, both public and private, deliver the doctor’s prescription and pay 65 euros. Molecular and serological testing is also possible at a lower cost. This was decided by the Region (with a resolution of the council) that wanted to extend to laboratories the possibility of offering the molecular test in a gold / nasopharyngeal swab for Covid research, molecular and serological tests to private citizens who intend to undergo the autonomously to exams. The services, obviously, will be subordinated “to the priority development of the activity of protection of public health in the hands of public laboratories.”

And they will be paid with a prescription in normal doctor’s paper. The swab will cost 65 euros (VAT included), the rapid antigen test 17.97 euros, the serological 12.65 euros and the rapid serological 7.64 euros. Your doctor can also perform the serological test.

This is because the epidemiological situation has changed. Since August, there has been an increase in cases across the island, including asymptomatic and “paucisymptomatic” (with few symptoms). The Nieddu Health Minister aims to ensure a broad screening activity in favor of the population “through a broader and more widespread use of the different methods currently available for the investigation of the virus and for the detection of its spread”.
