The Suceava County Emergency Hospital (SJU) has, as of Tuesday, a molecular biology laboratory where the necessary analysis to diagnose the infection with COVID-19 will be processed.
The quoted source mentions that the first tests have already been processed using the RT-PCR (Real time - Polymerase Chain Reaction) equipment made available by the USV, at the initiative of pro-rector Mihai Dimian. Equipment donations are expected in the next period, when the work capacity is expected to increase.
The laboratory of the hospital in Suceava was authorised to function through Order No.523/27 March, signed by Health Minister Nelu Tataru, which also includes other hospitals, most of them in Romania's university centres with medicine faculties and published in the Official Journal of Romania on 30 March.
