Rapid tests for Covid-19: how accurate are they?
The agreement on rapid tests performed by family doctors is expected to materialize next week. According to what has been learned, the new legislation provides for the voluntary adherence of white coats and a possible contractual addition to the collective bargaining agreement for general practitioners. According to the policy law, this activity must be limited to the period of the influenza epidemic in the national territory to favor the differential diagnosis between the two diseases. It would also provide for the participation of free choice primary care physicians and pediatricians “to prevent the strengthening of these activities from affecting only the Public Health Departments.” The agreement, the document reads, establishes that the provision of tests also extends to professionals in other areas of affiliated medicine. The agreement also provides for the regulation of any economic recognition of the performance of rapid antigenic swabs by free choice primary care physicians and pediatricians, it being understood that for the rest of the professionals the remuneration for the activity is already included in the remuneration. hours of conventional activity.
