22 October 2020 Quick swabs can be done in the pharmacy.

Health Minister Roberto Speranza said this during the meeting with the Regions announcing, according to what is learned, the beginning of an experimentation phase: "in the pharmacy serological tests are already done in some regions, let's try to do an experiment as is happening in Trento to carry out antigenic products also in pharmacies ".



Speranza then agreed with the Regions who asked to simplify the tracking procedures: "We have already reduced the quarantine to 10 days and eliminated the second buffer, we are ready to find new specific areas of intervention" and reiterated that an agreement is underway with general practitioners to ensure that they are the ones to carry out the rapid swabs that the emergency commissioner, Domenico Arcuri, is purchasing.



"We work by agreement with general practitioners to make the tampon fall within the points due, also because based on the number of tampons that Arcuri is purchasing, as per regional requirement, it will be necessary to increase the number of tampons performed".



Meanwhile, family doctors, the State-Regions Conference and trade unions were convened on Monday for an agreement on rapid tests for general practitioners.

The new legislation - according to what has been learned - provides for the voluntary adhesion of white coats and a possible contractual addition to the collective labor agreement of general practitioners.
