Oristano also involved in an operation by the Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Health, in agreement with the Ministry of Health, to verify the correct execution of the swabs and antigenic analyzes for the research of Covid-19.

In the province, the diagnostic activities of two pharmacies have been suspended for carrying out rapid tests without respecting the hygienic-sanitary and confidentiality requirements to be implemented within the swab sampling points.

In total, the activities of 21 withdrawal points were suspended throughout the national territory and 18 operators were identified who carried out the activity without a Green pass. The control in the last 30 days involved 1,360 pharmacies and analysis centers, detecting irregularities in 170 (12.5%) with 282 violations.

A total of 677 kits for rapid swabs found to be unsuitable were seized. The 282 contested violations, a note reads, are “due to the use of non-regular buffers and reagent kits which, not respecting the required standards, could have provided an unreliable result; failure to identify and register the persons subjected to tests as well as irregularities in communicating the results in the IT health platform; inadequacy of the professional figures employed in the execution of the swabs, in four cases carried out by unqualified personnel and in other cases without the mandatory Green pass; carrying out tests in unsuitable environments from a health and hygiene point of view (condominium entrance halls, under the stairs, etc.), in mixed rooms or in the total absence of regional authorization, increasing the risk of contagion ".
