As part of the efforts for better and faster service to the citizens, the Ministry of Health proceeded to increase the sampling points, while appealing to the citizens, to show patience and cooperation. In particular, over the weekend, more than 70 sampling points will operate in all provinces, giving citizens the opportunity to conduct rapid antigen detection tests.

Therefore, citizens are urged to take advantage of the increased sampling points, avoiding coming to the service at the last minute to avoid overcrowding and inconvenience, the Ministry of Health said in a statement.

It is reminded that, during the operation of the primary and secondary schools on Monday, January 10, students, teachers and school staff, regardless of vaccination history, will have to submit a negative Rapid 48-hour Rapid Antigen test.

It is clarified that the period of 48 hours concerns the time of arrival, and therefore the examination can be done in any time frame within the weekend.
