How many people are infected with coronavirus in Naberezhnye Chelny

Parents are strongly advised not to bring children with a cough and runny nose to class and be sure to consult a doctor about this.

Is it possible to do a coronavirus test in Chelny
You can now get tested for coronavirus in Chelny at any Tatarstan medical institution where there are tests. Early such studies were possible in Novosibirsk. Now the region has at its disposal the means to perform tests for Covid-19.
This information was provided by the Deputy Minister of Health.
For testing, you must visit the clinic at the place of residence. A medical worker will take a sample from the pharynx or nose, lower it into a special environment and send it for further processing to the specialists of the Center for Epidemiology and Hygiene of the Republic of Tatarstan in Kazan. To obtain information about the presence or absence of the virus in the sample, you will have to wait a day.
Attention! Analysis is not taken from everyone. Medical workers can take biomaterial for research at their own discretion, taking into account the state of the patient's body and the presence of a characteristic clinical picture.
Also, everyone who has recently visited countries with a large number of coronavirus cases should go to the clinic.
You can take the test if a person has been hospitalized and the doctor suspects he has an infection. So far, the infectious diseases hospital of the city has this opportunity. All samples after taking are sent to Kazan to Rospotrebnadzor. In this case, you do not need to donate blood, a sample from the nose or throat is enough. A person can also receive a referral for such a study if he has been in contact with a sick person.
Who to call if you suspect coronavirus
Coronavirus in Chelny has not yet been confirmed, but this does not guarantee that there is not a single case. Therefore, it is important to know what to do if symptoms of the disease occur.
If a person has been in contact with visitors or has noticed certain manifestations of the coronavirus, he should not leave the house. You should also limit contact with relatives. You don't need to go to the hospital. It is necessary to stay at home and call the district clinic to call a doctor at home. He will come, conduct an examination, assess the patient's condition and decide whether a test for Covid-19 is needed or not.
Also, the federal Rospotrebnadzor reports that a potential patient should be in his apartment, preferably in a separate room. If this is not possible, then a distance of at least one meter from other family members should be observed.
It is important to ventilate the room as often as possible, keep it clean, carry out wet cleaning, and regularly disinfect the surface using household detergents.
To prevent the disease, it is necessary to wash your hands with soap as often as possible. Care of the sick should be organized by only one family member. The patient should wear a mask and, if possible, avoid any contact with others.
This subtype of coronavirus poses a serious danger to human health and life. Therefore, government agencies and city administrations have developed a number of measures that should prevent the spread of infection throughout the country and help avoid a large number of victims. There are no confirmed cases of the disease on the territory of Naberezhnye Chelny yet, but this does not mean that citizens should be careless about compliance with the rules and not follow the recommendations of Rospotrebnadzor.
