The document specifies the indications for testing, including patients with symptoms of infection. However, there is a large group of people who, after contact with infected people, do not have symptoms that qualify for a free genetic test, and are concerned about their health. 

"In order to provide patients with access to fast-track commercial testing, we have established cooperation with a Wrocław-based company producing antigen tests SensDx and Sonocard Medical Center providing mobile swab points" – says Mariola Madler – Litera, the boss NZOZ Your Doctor.

"We are still conducting drive-thru testing at the Wrocław Business Park on Bierutowska Street. The testing point in the Kobierzyce commune is a new location that will make it easier for residents of nearby towns and the southern suburbs of Wrocław to access testing." – emphasizes Maciej Andryszczak from Sonocard Medical Center.

"Our tests are characterized by high sensitivity, comparable to the reference method RT-PCR. They enable the detection of viruses at a very early stage of infection and guarantee the result after 15 minutes from taking a swab" - Dr. Piotr Polański, medical director, points out SensDx. The innovative tests from Wrocław are the only ones currently available on the market that allow for screening for influenza A/B from the same swab, which allows for quick differentiation of infections.

All information regarding the possibility of using commercial tests in Kobierzyce and Wrocław can be found on the websites www.testprzesiewowy.pl and www.twojlekarz.net
