SARAJEVO, August 14 (FENA) - As part of the Covid Center Saraj Polje and Covid clinics Ilidža and Semizovac, and recently the Vrazova Center, citizens in the Sarajevo Canton, who have symptoms of coronavirus, can do the testing with the so-called drive-in method - from their car, while wearing protective masks, gloves, and minimal contact with medical staff.

The spokesman of the Public Institution Health Center of the Sarajevo Canton, Arman Šarkić, confirmed to FENA that  the Covid ambulance at the Vrazova Center, which opened about 15 days ago, offers the citizens this option of drive-in method of testing for the virus.

"It is important to note that citizens cannot come for testing on their own initiative - they must first call their family doctors, and after a consultation with them, but also a recommendation from an epidemiologist, get the exact date of testing. There must be a medical indication for each test, it is not possible to come from the street unannounced without symptoms," Šarkić emphasized.

He pointed out that this method of swabbing the patient in their car to means as little contact as possible with the medical staff, but also with other patients.

According to him, the previous experience of the Health Center shows that for now, fewer patients are using this option of drive-in testing. 

Due to the current epidemiological situation in the Sarajevo Canton regarding the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19), the SC Health Center receives all patients with symptoms of coronavirus at four locations, Covid Center Saraj-polje, and Covid clinics Ilidža, Vrazova Center and Semizovac - Vogošća.
