A free rapid antigen testing service supplied by private laboratories, has been set up by the Ministry of Health, Yeniduzen reported.
The new system has been launched in response to the increasing demand for testing as transitions south across the border have increased.
Applications must be made online at https://basvuru.lab.gov.ct.tr/?signup=true
Those wanting a test will be directed to private laboratories in all districts. Test results can be obtained online from the Ministry of Health at https://basvuru.lab.gov.ct.tr/
The system has been installed to avoid crowding at testing centres, Nicosia PCR and Antigen Test Centres Specialist Filiz Uzun said.
Uzun said, “I have been observing that the numbers have increased in our centres in the last few days. There is no PCR obligation, especially for children who will receive a report card and those who will cross south. Antigen tests can also be made”, she said.
The Ministry of Health has agreements with 40 different laboratories.
