More than 40 thousand Russians have issued covid certificates based on the results of an antibody test using a new service on the public services portal, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation reports.
“In a few hours of operation of the new service on Public Services, a medical certificate based on the results of a test for antibodies to COVID-19 was issued by more than 40 thousand users,” the report says.
The department recalled that it is possible to take an analysis for antibodies (immunoglobulins G) in any of the accredited laboratories. Within three days, the test result will appear in your personal account on the public services portal. If it is positive, the citizen will be able to form a covid certificate, which will be valid for six months. The number of antibodies does not matter.
The new rules have been in effect in Russia since February 21. Before that, a QR code could be obtained after vaccination or an officially confirmed illness.
Earlier it was reported that citizens with a positive result of an express test for coronavirus will receive certificates of the patient who has been ill, but a medical worker must conduct the test.
