Earlier, Elrai-Price told the Constitution Committee that "the purpose of the green label is to create places where the risk of disease is lower, thus allowing more people to enter and allow a normal farm life. From the beginning we said a green label could also enter people with tests. Having an allergy to one of the vaccine components is a rarity. "
She added that within two weeks the use of rapid corona tests should go into action: "We are promoting the introduction of rapid tests and we need to see how the various sampling factors report positive results that are very high on suspicion of disease. Yesterday a professional discussion was held on positive cases and I hope within two weeks We can use them for the benefit of the green mark. "
"There could be use of PCR tests or speed tests at the entrance to the event, but right now with 4,000-3,000 verified per day, using PCR for a green mark will flood the test system and the time to get a result will increase to 48 hours, the test system will get stuck and we will not break chains," she said. Alrei- Price.
"Until today, if a positive test was performed in rapid tests, it would be tested immediately by PCR and the situation in which a quick antigen test without PCR is performed - what happens in a positive test, whether a person immediately goes into isolation and more. Antigen tests are very good in the beginning. The disease since they detect the increase in protein, but then a person can be sick for 8-10 days and his antigen will be negative.In a situation where a person will use this test data for several days it may be inaccurate and rely on an irrelevant test.Enter event with PCR result It will be for 48 hours and the quick test will be valid for 24 hours.
