In a previous article, we discovered what is the best between serological and swab testing. In this we will see how, where, why and when it is necessary to rub.
New habits in times of coronavirus
Until a few months ago, 99.9% of people had never had a swab test. Today, however, we see every day in the newspaper the number of thousands of tests that are carried out daily in the population.
Even today, many wonder, however, how, where, why and when is it necessary to do a swab? It may seem like a trivial question, but given the confusion and uncertainty that prevails in everyone’s life, it is not at all.
To make a tampon, you must have a prescription from your GP. It follows that it is necessary to demonstrate that you have been exposed to a risk and, therefore, that you have been in contact with a positive. Ultimately, we shouldn’t panic and decide to try to get tested just to be “safe.” In fact, the health system is already under undue pressure; Not to mention, tampon lines can become a true hotspot for contagion. In short, you should only be tested if you are sure you are at risk. Once the prescription is obtained, it is possible to perform the swab at private testing centers (this possibility varies from Region to Region) in the reference ASL. Or, if they had organized, at the NHS drive-in.
Minister Speranza later announced that family doctors will also be able to perform the swab, but only the rapid one (an antigenic and therefore non-molecular test). Finally, it should be remembered that in the event of an established Covid 19 symptomatology, if a second swab is required, the ASL will perform the swab directly at home.
When is it not necessary to rub?
On October 12, the Ministry of Health clarified how and when a person who has tested positive for Covid 19 can return to the community. For asymptomatic patients it will be possible to end the isolation 10 days after the finding of positivity and in any case not after receiving a negative molecular swab. Symptomatic patients should be isolated for at least 10 days. After these 10 days, if the patient has no symptoms for 3 days in a row, the molecular test can be performed which, if negative, will allow the patient to “re-enter the community”. If you continue to test positive even in the absence of symptoms, you may return to the community 21 days after the onset of symptoms and in any case after a week in the absence of symptoms.
