Swabs, ok from the Region to private laboratories: do tests without a prescription



[ad_1]

The Department of Health of the Puglia Region has authorized private laboratories that are part of the regional Covid network to perform rapid antigenic smears also “for needs not related to clinical or public health reasons”.

This is what we read in a circular signed by director Vito Montanaro. The test can be requested by the citizen for work reasons, for travel reasons and for any other reason “not related to clinical or public health needs already governed by national and regional regulations”.

It will be enough for the applicant to issue a self-certification to perform the quick test. “In the case of a positive result of the antigen test – the circular is still read – the analysis laboratory must immediately notify the interested party and his / her family doctor as well as the Hygiene and Public Health Service of the Prevention Department with territorial jurisdiction to that the consequent measures, including the prescription of the execution of the molecular test “.
