Citizens Who Want to Test by Method PCR, at the National Institute of Public Health, to confirm whether they are infected with the new coronary, which causes COVIDD-19, should first receive direction from the family doctor.
The main condition, however, is temperature higher than 38.5, as well as oxygen satellites in the organism below 94 percent.
However, some citizens are complaining that although they are doubting that they have been infected with coronarys, they have other symptoms rather than temperatures.
So they're struggling to run a PCR test.
One of them is Lindita Mulay, who, speaking of Radio Free Europe, said the procedure to test is complicated. We met him in the courtyard of the National Institute, where citizens are being tested. She explains in detail how she managed to conduct the PCR test.
I have received three days with symptoms. But, despite this, I've still come to the ICH. That's because you need a fever to get the instructions. I don't have a fever, but I have other symptoms and I'm convinced that I'm infected since I'm a contact case and I have other symptoms, such as cough and throat pain, she said.
Even Mehed Gashi, citizen of Pristina, has received instructions to conduct the PCR test, with her insistence, since the symptoms required to issue such instruction from the family doctor, she did not have it.
The procedure is simple. You should show up at the Family Medicine Center and take the lead. But I insisted on getting the instructions, because they told me I didn't have a fever. But, I have throat pain, my nose is bleeding. I don't think it's just conditional temperatures, because not everyone has that symptom, while they have the coronavirus, she said.
Sami Uka, chief chief of the Centre for Family Medicine in Pristina, said the last few days are facing additional demands due to the rise in the number of infected. But, he adds, they are also facing the request of the National Institute to limit guidance cases, as their capacities are limited.
The “Criters are to have oxygen billing below 94 percent, and temperature 38.5th and up. At the same time, other symptoms of COVID-19 or even evidence that it was a contact case. This job is problematic, but it has to be given priority to those who have symptoms and are more vulnerable to health. Although those without symptoms are distributing it more, they're the ones with symptoms that are the most endangered, so we give you the advantage of”.
We don't have the limit on how many instructions we need to launch to run tests, but we're told that because of overloaded capacities, we're restricting as much as possible, understood by not risking anyone, Uka says.
Meanwhile, Xhevat Jakupi of the National Institute of Public Health says that it is currently working on full capacity, and that the maximum it can do at this institution is 1500 tests in 24 hours, as long as it is being done.
He adds that other tests are conducted in private labs, but, as Jakupi puts it, they have no precise information about how many tests are conducted in these labs.
“As for the matter of guidelines, the health system functions in such a way that if the family doctor sees it as reasonable, it gives out the instructions, but we don't have the capacity to test every citizen, so a kind of skrening has to be carried out and whether or not citizens are tested.
“As far as capacity is concerned, we're testing up to 1500 samples a day, which represents the largest capacity, so maximum test we can do. Staff work from morning to late hours, Jakupi explains
PCR tests, currently conducted only at the National Institute of Public Health in Pristina and private labs, As long as it is forecasted that regional institutes in Pec, Prizren and Gjakova can be conducted in the near future.
