The diagnostic procedure was modified.
It is precisely in such an unpleasant situation that the first 15 minutes reader Artūras (last name known to publisher – past ed.).
The interviewee said that he was sick with COVID-19, but this fact was registered only in the e-health system. After all, before his inspection, the Minister of Health Arūnas Dulkys issued an order so that this disease can be detected not only by conducting a PCR test.
However, the fact that a man has a history of COVID-19 is not recorded in the EU digital certificate system. To obtain such a certificate, the disease must have been confirmed by a PCR test, other diagnostic methods are not suitable.
In December last year, the Acting Minister of Health, Aurelijus Veryga, signed orderthat COVID-19 can be detected by a PCR test, a rapid PCR test, a combination PCR test, or a rapid antigen test.
To quickly respond to the coronavirus threat, was providedthat the disease can also be diagnosed by a family doctor, even if the patient has not undergone a PCR test. For abandoned only in June.
And at the end of April this year It was changed and the aforementioned December order, this was already done by the current Minister A. Dulkys. However, it still states that COVID-19 can be detected using PCR, combined PCR, and (rapid) antigen tests, although this means that a significant number of people may be left without the so-called European Green Passport.
For Arthur, the coronavirus infection was diagnosed in the last way, by an antigen test. He tested at a mobile point in Rokiškis, pre-registered. Based on the official test result and symptoms, the doctor diagnosed COVID-19, which was registered in the electronic health system.
However, a man cannot obtain an EU digital certificate because a PCR test has not been performed. The interviewee has also undergone a serological test -antibodies- that allows him to use the passport of opportunities.
Has a lot of antibodies
Arthur is angry that, although he is considered to have COVID-19 in Lithuania, he cannot obtain a certificate that facilitates travel in the EU, because the latter’s system does not show the disease, it was not determined by that test.
“Obviously, I am an antiviral in the European system,” the man said ironically.

For him, this problem, which has been plaguing him since mid-May, is especially acute: when doing business, he has to constantly go abroad, which is why a travel certificate is important to him.
The “system” does not see me as sick, and there is no one in our state to fix the system, I was angry. – Then my business trips abroad are not possible. Once I was landed …
The situation is so ridiculous that if I get vaccinated now, I will have to vaccinate as a non-sick person, that is, in two doses. Which is complete nonsense because I recently had an antibody test and I have more than enough.
The problem is that there are no such “bugs” to fix. The bureaucrats just don’t want to do anything, they are completely “whistling” at ordinary people, although when they speak, they sympathize that there are none.
Tried all instances, but they all send each other. Now, in the Center of Records, the ministry, are responding “operators” planted, for whom their problems simply are not important “.

The interlocutor said that he had asked the Registry Center to correct the data, but “it was sent further.” The Ministry of Health (SAM), when it was possible to call, also said that it did not respond to the request, only promised to do something, because there are more people with a similar problem.

“I have a lot of business abroad, but I don’t know what to do,” the man complained. “It will probably be necessary to draw a poster and wait for Mr. Dulkis at the government gate to make sure it works at its best after the order is issued.”
EU certificate requires a PCR test
There really is no way out for him.
How 15 minutes Mindaugas Samkus, spokesperson for the Registry Center, stated that the generation of the opportunity passport and the EU digital COVID certificate follows the rules established by SAM and the approved algorithms.
“By common consent of the EU and in accordance with the current procedure, the EU digital COVID certificate is generated after an illness only in cases where the illness has been confirmed by a positive PCR test,” he noted.
According to M.Samkus, data is entered into the electronic health system, for example, about diseases, by health professionals – family doctors.
“From the described situation, it can be assumed that the COVID-19 disease was registered in the system after the family doctor made a predictive diagnosis.

After a certain number of days or a recovery diagnosis has been made, the person is considered recovered and a passport of opportunities is generated “.
Opportunity passport can get people with COVID-19 who have been diagnosed with a PCR test or an antigen test and no more than 180 days have passed since the positive result (but not before the end of the isolation period).
In the EU digital COVID certificate, COVID-19 captured only after a positive PCR test result.

Therefore, as of June 5. came into force in accordance with the procedure by which, after a positive result in a rapid antigen test, it is possible within 48 hours. repeat the PCR test after sampling. Previously, this could only be done by prophylactic researchers.
Since the beginning of June, everyone who has tested positive for a rapid antigen test has been invited to confirm the diagnosis by PCR.
