Canton Zurich
Stricter rules for providers of Covid tests should now prevent quality loss
Responsible specialists are now only allowed to operate 10 corona test sites. So far there have been no limits. However, the canton of Zurich will avoid a loss of quality.
Providers of Covid-19 tests in the canton of Zurich are no longer allowed to operate any number of test sites per responsible specialist. Newly gold-plated by the health department. A limit of 10 test sites. People who take part in repetitive mass tests still do not receive a Covid certificate in the canton of Zurich.
With an updated leaflet, the Health Department of the Canton of Zurich is reminding the operators of Covid test centers of the highest requirements, as it announced on Monday. In addition, the health department limits the number of test centers that may be operated per responsible specialist to 10. Specialists are doctors, laboratory managers and pharmacists with a cantonal professional license.
The limitation of the number of test sites is intended to ensure that.
No certificate for repeat exams
There will still be no Covid certificate in the canton of Zurich for participants in repetitive tests. According to the health department, these tests primarily serve as a protective measure; the issuing of certificates is not necessary.
The federal government leaves it to the cantons to decide whether or not to issue certificates for repetitive tests. The federal government would cover the costs of issuing the certificates. (sda)
