The Save Romania Union (USR) draws attention to the fact that our country has entered the "yellow zone" on the coronavirus epidemic map and calls for an urgent increase in testing capacity, in order to isolate COVID-19 cases early.
The Union recalls that currently only symptomatic patients who have been in the red zone or in contact with a patient already confirmed with COVID-19 are being tested. Thus not tested are:
- symptomatic contacts of a person returned from the red zone in the last 14 days;
- people with symptoms coming from areas that at the time of departure were not red or yellow;
- symptomatic patients, regardless of symptomatology, without precise identification of the strict epidemiological context.
