Rapid tests for employees and the general population continue – Information about testing units on 30 January 2021

As part of the strategy for the gradual lifting of restrictive measures, and based on the decisions of the Council of Ministers, the Ministry of Health is implementing a program of free rapid antigen testing for employees who will return to their workplace as of February 1.

At the same time, in order to strengthen the monitoring of the epidemiological situation, ensure the operation of companies and reduce possible outbreaks in workplaces, the weekly rapid antigen testing of employees working in companies which are operating and / or will re-operate in the next period is rendered mandatory, on the basis of the strategic lifting of measures.

The result of the rapid test is valid for seven (7) days unless, in the meantime, a person develops symptoms or is classified as a contact and should therefore follow the protocol defined by the Epidemiological Monitoring Unit. The employer/business has the responsibility of coordinating repeat checks for employees, so that at any time and on a weekly basis they have a rapid test, as defined below:

— Businesses/services employing up to 3 people, all employees should be tested

— Businesses/services employing between 4 and 10 people, tests should be carried out on at least 4 employees.

— Businesses/services employing more than 10 people, tests should be carried out on at least 4 people or 20 % of employees, whichever is larger in number.

The testing program for employees will be carried out at the same time as the testing program for the general population. In order to better serve the general population and employees, testing units will operate in 53 locations throughout and on 30 January 2021 these are the following:
