Express coronavirus tests can be bought at pharmacies, MoH says
Such a test detects only indirect signs of the virus.
Pharmacies can officially sell express tests for detecting coronavirus disease. This was announced by chief sanitary doctor Viktor Liashko at a briefing.
“Pharmacies may sell express tests — it is up to the company that owns the pharmacy. Private laboratories may also purchase test systems if they meet biosafety requirements and have the right to work with a second-class pathogen,” Liashko said.
Liashko reminded that private laboratories already conduct such studies and provide results.
The first type of testing is considered more accurate and is used only in laboratories. The sample is taken from the nose.
Express tests can be carried out by any hospital — it detects only indirect signs of the virus. For this, capillary or venous blood is taken from the person.
