Regarding this amount, Gabriela Firea specified, on Friday, in a message on Facebook, that it is not a coupon or a sum of money to be offered to the volunteers, but rather the agreement of the respective tests by the City Council of the capital.
“I want to emphasize, first of all, that it is not, as some speculations have already appeared, about giving people money or coupons to agree to get tested! Through the proposed project, we will solve the PCR test (with tests normal, so precise, not fast), in the first phase, for 11,000 Bucharest residents who voluntarily enroll in all state and / or private clinics that enter the program started by PMB through ASSMB. each test is 200 lei, the same with the one established by the CNAS to test the symptoms, those of quarantine or the contacts of those infected “, Specified nature.
The mayor of the capital added: “I specify that there is currently a daily testing capacity in the Capital of more than 3,500 PCR tests, but in reality only a few hundred tests are performed per day. Also, the number of people who are now quarantined is approximately 400, much less than at the beginning of the State of Emergency, when there were several thousand. It is necessary to test the population to be able to take gradual measures of relaxation. If we do not test, we do not know the truth, we stay at home, we kill the economy ! “
