Today, (December 7) in our country begins the application of rapid tests, which are expected to facilitate the diagnostic process and epidemiological investigation. Invited to Wake Up this morning was the epidemiologist, Ilir Alimehmeti, who listed in simpler language all the advantages that this test brings.
1.
It is easily usable
2.
The result comes out within a few minutes and thus a positive case is directly isolated.
3.
The epidemiological investigation becomes simpler, more accurate and in a shorter time.
4.
No need for retesting.
5.
The quick test can be done by anyone after purchasing at the pharmacy.
"Quick tests can also be done by the citizens themselves, after buying them at the pharmacy. Currently, 100,000 quick tests in the country have no distribution in the pharmacy and this time they will not be able to apply people individually, but "In a second it will happen. Rapid tests will be as readily available as pregnancy tests." -explained Alimehmeti adding that their only "fear" is the fact that a possible positive case does not report even though he is aware of the infection.
The epidemiologist also said that the number of rapid tests should be many times higher, as only in this way the results in the coming weeks will be significantly visible.
As for schools, he added that they are not the target group of their target, as the risk is not high, except in sporadic cases.
