The Ministry of Health issued an unusual warning message this morning about corona kits being advertised and sold as "a private corona VIP VIP test." According to the ministry, the tests are not marketed and not approved by him and therefore could mislead and endanger the user and those around him. 

The Ministry of Health's statement indicates that the product is not at all sold and marketed without its approval, with the misrepresentation that this is a private self-examination, which prevents "closure in anxious concentrations".

"The advertising and use of the product transmit a clear message misleading consumers, causing them to be tested for the presence of the corona virus through the product which is not a recognized test kit for the presence of the corona virus, and could endanger consumers, their family and the public, thus posing a dangerous and misleading public health."

"These publications," the Ministry of Health adds, "create a 'test and vaccine illusion' that users of this product may avoid protective behavior and reduce infection, in violation of legal emergency regulations and the Ministry of Health's recommendations. The product will not diagnose it, and if they suffer from morbidity, they will mistakenly think it is not a corona - and they may arrive at appropriate medical treatment too late.
