How are things with coronovirus in Podolsk, Moscow region

The number of infected in the capital is growing every day. Residents of the Moscow region who come to Moscow to work are at risk. Therefore, the statistics of cases of infection in cities outside the Moscow Ring Road is growing. Coronavirus in Podolsk, Moscow region was no exception.

Is there a coronavirus in Podolsk

If we analyze the number of confirmed cases in the Moscow region, then Odintsovo and Ramenskoye suffered the most. This was reported by the telegram channel of the regional headquarters called "Coronavirus. Mosoblshtab".

In general, for major cities near Moscow, the statistics are as follows:

Official statistics should be considered approximate, since not all citizens with symptoms similar to coronovirus were subjected to special testing. In addition, many await analysis in the hospital walls.

Quarantine in Podolsk

Quarantine in Podolsk was introduced at the direction of the Governor of the Moscow Region A. Vorobyov. He, like Sobyanin, is taking measures to combat the new infection.

In particular, on March 29, 2020, Vorobyov said that the situation around the contagious disease is gradually becoming more complicated. In order to protect the residents of the Moscow region, he decides that citizens are required to keep a distance of 1.5 meters, residents should not leave their apartments. Movement restrictions are similar to those in Moscow. In Podolsk, as in Moscow, schools were closed for quarantine. Children were transferred to distance learning on online platforms selected by a particular educational institution.

In addition, it was said that those who have a confirmed diagnosis are given antiviral drugs free of charge.

By analogy with Moscow, residents of the Moscow Region will receive regional compensation payments. Their amount is 15,000. Unemployed citizens sent for education will receive a scholarship.

The Governor of the Moscow Region explained the self-isolation regime by the increased number of cases in the territory of the Moscow Region. Quarantine in Podolsk schools is a measure aimed at maintaining the health of children.

Where to get tested for coronavirus in Podolsk

For a long time, the Russians were deprived of the opportunity to test for the presence of infection. It was only on March 26 that it became possible to get tested for coronavirus on your own, for a fee in Podolsk. The service is currently available to citizens only in two clinics. These are Hemotest and Helix.

Representatives of laboratories say that this analysis is intended for people who, for various reasons, take the test. But not for sick citizens, with obvious signs of SARS and influenza. In particular, these are:

• chills;
• cough;
• weakness, etc.

The analysis, rather, is intended for those who are worried about their health, as they are forced to work in the midst of an epidemic.

Laboratories began to work from March 26. The test is taken by appointment. This is done to avoid confusion. The cost of the test is strikingly different in the two clinics. If you look at the price list offered by Hemotest, you can see the cost of 1900 rubles (the price includes blood sampling from patients). In Helix, the cost of the service will please you - 600 rubles. Obviously, most citizens will go to take the test for 600 rubles. But the problem is that it is impossible to get through to the hotline. The feedback form on the official website does not work. Therefore, to pass the analysis, it is worth contacting the clinic directly. There are no Helix laboratories in Podolsk. Previously, one of them was located at the Kuznechiki microdistrict, Academician Dollezhal Street, 18. But it was closed.

In "Gemotest", on the official website, you must fill out a special form with the last name, first name, enter passport data. You will receive a notification in the mail about the readiness to take the analysis. You can come on weekdays except Sunday. The clinic holds special promotions. If the client is under 25 years old, but over 55, then a 5% discount is given.

Test for the causative agent of COVID-19 in cell scrapings. The analysis is taken from the nasopharynx and oropharynx by PCR. To achieve an accurate result, 3 hours before the analysis, you can not brush your teeth, rinse your mouth, eat, use chewing gum.
