Rapid antigen testing for employees and the general population – Testing units
According to the decree in force, employees in businesses and other professional sectors who are returning to work on 8 February, are obliged to undergo an antigen rapid test, by tomorrow, Sunday 7 February 2021. In this context, the Ministry of Health’s program of free screening with rapid antigen test continues, in order to ensure a smooth and safe re-opening of businesses/sectors.
Based on the above and to make the screening possible for everyone returning to their work place on Monday, the employees are grouped alphabetically according to their surname, as follows:
|
Day/Date |
Surname – Greek alphabet |
Surname – Latin alphabet |
|
Sunday, 7 February |
Τ – Ω |
W – Z |
Employees who have not undergone the test are encouraged to do so tomorrow, since a negative rapid test outcome constitutes a requirement for returning to work.
The testing program for employees will be carried out at the same time as the testing program for the general population. In order to better serve all citizens, testing units have been increased to 62, operating in all Districts, with extended operating hours for tomorrow, Sunday 7 February, as follows:
