Dubai: Oman’s Ministry of Health has revised the prices of COVID-19 tests in personal hospitals. He also waived additional fees in the sample, local media reported.
The above tests charge from 14 to forty-five ROs (134 to 429 Dhs).
According to reports, 3 of the tests are being carried out in Oman:
1) Real-time testing (RT) -PCR loading RO35 (Dhs 334) which is a nasal pattern that detects the virus. The time required to download the result is 120 minutes and the report is issued within two to three days.
2) The Point-of-Care-PCR automated test, which also uses a nasal swab, costs 50 RO (477 Dhs). It takes forty-five minutes and the report is published in one day.
3) Serological control looks beyond infections for a blood pattern and wants an hour to get the result. The report is issued within two hours by RO15 (145 dirhams).
The resolution is essential because countries that have been open to travel insist on PCR testing to avoid mandatory institutional isolation.
Even India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has stated that travellers whose real-time verification (RT) -PCR is negative may apply for a mandatory institutional quarantine exemption.
Egypt also banned access to the country’s evidence of having passed a PCR check for coronavirus starting this Saturday.
The check will have to return with a negative result no more than 72 hours before entering the country, according to the Egyptian government.
