COVID-19
TheCovid-19 pandemic is here with us for good and has completely changed the ways we move, work or have fun. Especially when it comes to travel and holidays, it is very important that we all follow safety protocols and do the appropriate clinical examinations before our departure.
Our clinics perform coronavirus tests in Katerini and the rest of Pieria, contributing to the timely detection of possible cases and guiding patients to seek medical help in a timely manner.
Specifically, at our clinics you can ask for:
Rapid antigen tests
Rapid tests are a valuable ally in ensuring our own health and the health of those around us before or while on vacation. It is suitable for people who present with symptoms, but also for asymptomatic people who, however, came in contact with a confirmed case within 14 days. The results are issued within 1 hour. Sampling is done from the nose, from the pharynx, with nasal and pharyngeal smear, even with the most painless method, the saliva.
PCR test
PCR coronavirus tests offer increased accuracy compared to rapid tests, thus making travel and vacation safety greater. For the same reason they are considered valid for a longer period of time in order to travel on ships, planes, etc. (72 hours before the trip compared to 48 hours before for antigen tests). Ideally the results come out on the same day. The service is offered with collaborating microbiological laboratories. Sampling is done with a nasopharyngeal smear.
