She stated that during the days when she was trying to catch up on what he could do for her, she was experiencing a great deal of stress and wanted to know if the system was working properly and was not late.
She was getting ready for her grandmother’s anniversary
The girl, Delfi, said she got up on the morning of Friday, September 11, and had to go to the clinic for a medical check-up. According to her, given that the temperature in the health center is measured for the arrival, the girl checked it at home and the thermometer read 37.1 degrees.
“Since I had to attend my grandmother’s 90s the next day, I was very worried if there might be something wrong. Of course, due to the stress I experienced, the temperature rose a bit more, so I called my GP, who told me that I do not feel any symptoms, I feel fine, but due to constant contact with people, I would check “.
According to her, the doctor, however, doubted that it could have been a coronavirus, since in most cases the temperature is 37.3ºC.
“As I had no more symptoms, the specialist advised me to wait until evening to see if they would reappear. However, waiting until evening turned out to be too dangerous for me and I had to attend the party the next day, so I started to look for alternatives. I called several private clinics that were doing coronavirus tests, and one of them had just taken place at 4 pm in the afternoon. “
The girl said that early Saturday morning, at 7 am, she was informed that her test was positive.
“This is how I found out she was sick,” she said. She also pointed out that already on Friday night she began to feel that something bad was happening to her body, but, in the girl’s opinion, it was not a normal disease, but rather reminded her of fatigue, she felt a general weakness.
Coronavirus test
I did not receive information on what to do exactly
Since she received the answer very early in the morning, the girl did not immediately know what to do for her first. However, he found information that from 8 pm in the morning you can call the hotline and get more information there.
“At eight o’clock I called this line and they told me they had nothing to advise. I just pointed out that I have to isolate myself, but I didn’t even wonder if I have where to do it or if I have the opportunity to distance myself from people. I didn’t get any questions about all of these things, I was just thinking about being able to contact my GP. However, I am enrolled in a semi-private clinic that is closed on weekends. Then I asked again what to do, and this time the staff advised me to contact the laboratory that performed the test. “
According to her, the lab couldn’t help anyone either and also told her to wait until Monday.
“I said that I couldn’t wait so calmly because I had a lot of contacts that I wanted to inform immediately. However, the hotline advised me in the past to call the National Public Health Center (NVSC) and ask them about next steps. After calling the center, they said that they had not yet seen my case entered into the system. It was only on Monday that I found out that this was because the administration of the laboratory that examined me did not work on the weekend and could only record the result of my test on Monday, ”explained the girl.
It was very strange to her that no one could do a deeper analysis of her case all weekend, so she took the initiative into her own hands.
“NVSC gave me at least some information on what I should do, although I also didn’t get any questions about how I was doing in isolation, they just didn’t ask specific questions. I also didn’t understand which people I should have been in contact with, the ones with whom I last interacted in 72 hours. with 5 days. Different information was provided throughout. However, I started to inform all my contacts and the NVSC registered me as a sick person. “
The girls were called the same day by an epidemiologist from Kaunas, but when the specialist learned that she was registered in Kaunas but temporarily living in Vilnius, he replied that he could not investigate her case.
According to her, Vilnius and Kaunas have two different systems, between which they do not “exchange” information. Then he also provided general information, although after listening to the questions he had, he tried to give the necessary answers. The same man realized that there are such absurd things. I also realized that I had to isolate myself. I was isolated and had to decide for myself what to do, and on Monday morning I called the lab to find out if the information had already disappeared. “
However, according to the girl, she experienced a lot of stress that weekend as she had to keep all contacts informed, which can be a very unpleasant process.
Certainly not everyone received this message well, some were surprised and their plans failed because they had to isolate themselves. They also called me and asked what to do next, but I couldn’t give them exact answers. It’s good that all my contacts were conscientious and civic, I immediately filled out the NVSC questionnaires that such contact had. Unfortunately, until my case was entered into the system, my contacts were also unable to immediately begin analyzing. He ordered the epidemiologists to call, and they didn’t call. “
Coronavirus
Contacted only on Tuesday
The coronavirus-infected interlocutor said her data was only entered into the system around noon on Monday, and the epidemiologist called her only on Tuesday.
“However, she was also from Kaunas. However, after this call, my data was transferred to Vilnius and she finally called another epidemiologist, who has already started to seriously analyze my case. I think something with these systems is really wrong because It took a long time to contact me. Also, my contacts were only contacted on Wednesday or Thursday, think about it, it’s been about five days already. One thing is that all my contacts were aware. “
He also added that all his contacts did tests that came back negative but that they had yet to remain in self-isolation.
“So my first days after a positive test response were chaotic, filled with anxiety and stress. I often think that the most important thing is that I felt pretty good and had the strength to do most of the work myself, but what if I had felt much stronger symptoms? I really tried to contact and inform all the people who had contact with me, but it is very difficult when the owners do not do it, ”he assured me.
When asked what symptoms he experienced during his illness, he indicated that at first on Saturday his temperature had risen to 38 degrees, but on Sunday it dropped and then he felt a bone “fracture”, general weakness and finally a taste and smell. that could not be recovered. However, after 14 days of testing, it was already negative.
“It would certainly be very good for people to be properly informed that if they test positive over the weekend, they can expect information on next steps only on Monday, when their data will be collected.”
You should stay home after experiencing the slightest symptom.
NVSC representatives in Delfi commented that they always emphasize that a person experiencing at least the slightest symptoms of a contagious disease should stay home.
“If a person felt or is feeling the symptoms and is doing the test, then they had to stay home before the test, after the test, and of course after the positive test result. If a person was doing an investigation because another infected person named that person as a high-risk contact person, then the person should have already been in isolation. If a person has returned from abroad, from where they were forced to isolate themselves on the day of their return, then isolation is mandatory immediately, ”the representatives commented.
He also noted that if a positive response is received, it is always mandatory to initiate self-isolation immediately without waiting for a call from the NVSC.
“Information about positive test results does not reach our specialists at the same time that the person receives a positive response, so there is a certain amount of time. On weekends, NVSC employs several specialists in departments, and the number of cases has been on the rise lately so we always ask people to be nice and wait until specialists contact them. Only the person knows where they have visited and who they have interacted with, so it is very it is advisable to contact her and warn her about the person. By the way, the person should provide the NVSC specialists with such lists of places visited and people with whom they have communicated. “
He also claimed that he had been exposed for 3 days before a person who had already been confirmed to have coronavirus developed symptoms and a person who had been in contact for two weeks after the onset of symptoms.
“At that time, if the person was in contact with a patient who did not have the characteristic symptoms of COVID-19, then the person who was in contact after 72 hours is considered to have had contact. before taking a smear from a patient who tested positive and 14 days after taking a smear.
