"DNR" occupiers still decide to check patients with "usual" pneumonia for COVID-19

Patients with "usual" pneumonia in the occupied territory of Donetsk oblast will be tested for COVID-19 on the 7th day using EIA testing. This is reported by the fake "DNR Ministry of Health".

"Patients with pneumonia, who undergo outpatient treatment at primary health care facilities, as well as in other cases of suspected COVID-19, will be taken blood samplings for EIA diagnostics in order to timely make a diagnosis and take anti-epidemic measures", - the report says.

It is specified that blood sampling from the above category will be carried out no earlier than 7 days from the onset of clinical implications, mainly at home, in compliance with the necessary biological safety measures, free of charge.

As reported by OstroV, 177 cases of COVID-19 and 116 cases of pneumonia were detected in the occupied territory of Donetsk oblast over the last 24 hours, on November 30, which is 55 cases more than in the past day. Of these, hospitalization of patients was required in 84 cases.

In total, 1 541 patients with pneumonia are being treated in CADO, of which 485 are on oxygen support (+15 over the day).
