WARSAW (Reuters) – A Polish beach hotel is providing loose coronavirus tests to consumers nationwide.
Last week, the number of cases exceeded 800 on three occasions, breaking records for Poland.
Zawiaty, a beach hotel in the northern Kaszuby region, has to rent Geneme, a personal genetic testing company, to help you administer the tests every Saturday.
“Security is incredibly vital right now. Most of them are our regular customers, so it is very vital for us to build their acceptance as true and protect them as productively as possible,” resort director Anna Kreft told Reuters.
As consumers get in the car, it provides them with a verification kit. They then administer the control swab themselves under the supervision of a trained hotelier through Geneme. The effects are processed in an hour with on-site laboratory equipment.
Guests are once again proving their stay.
But virologist Wlodzimierz Gut said that to be effective, these tests must be performed through lab professionals “fully trained to perform molecular testing,” not through hotel workers or patients themselves.
He told Reuters that molecular testing only detects the virus once it has been in a user for five or six days and is slightly foolproof.
“To put it bluntly, they lost their brains out of fear,” Gut said.
Geneme insists that testing is safe, fast and effective. I’d rather have a designated user to manage taxes, but the resolution rests with the hotel, he said.
“We provide full cooperation and assistance in organizing the entire procedure to make it work and there are no mistakes,” said Kasjan Szemiako, Geneme’s chief technology officer.
