The teams of the Healthcare Management of Zamora have today carried out the second day of mass screening in the basic health areas Parada del Molino in the capital and Zamora Sur due to their high incidence of infections. A health action that will last until next Saturday, February 6, and that today the territorial delegate of the Board in Zamora, Clara San Damián, has visited; the mayor of Zamora, Francisco Guarido; the subdelegate of the Government in Zamora, Ángel Blanco; the second vice president of the Zamora Provincial Council, José Luis Prieto Calderón, and the Healthcare Manager, Monserrat Chimeno.
In fact, the visit of the Zamora institutions to this screening has served so that several of them also underwent the test, such as Ángel Blanco, José Luis Prieto Calderón or Clara San Damián. The latter has taken the opportunity to encourage Zamoranos to attend this screening, “even if they do not belong” to these health areas, since they will also be tested without problems. He has also indicated that families who attend together may take the test regardless of their last name, to speed up their passage.
A day that ends today with 12 positives in asymptomatic coronavirus, after 4,187 tests, and that they already keep the corresponding quarantine. To these we must add four more positives yesterday, when 1,298 antigen tests were performed. It should be remembered that even tomorrow there is the last possibility of undergoing this antigen test at the following time:
Saturday February 6:
NO: From 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.
PR: From 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
SZ: From 16:00 hours to 19:00 hours.
The personnel in charge of taking and managing the samples belongs to the Zamora Healthcare Management teams. They will be organized into sampling teams that set up customer service lines. In each line there will be two nurses, in charge of taking the sample and interpreting the result, and an administrative assistant who will record and manage the process and results. Professionals from the IT Service and the Maintenance Service of the Zamora Healthcare Complex will also collaborate.
As it is an antigen test, it is expected that those who test positive will be informed of the result through a phone call about half an hour after taking the test, in order to keep quarantine and trace close contacts. Those who are negative will be notified by SMS.
The Junta de Castilla y León thanks the City Council of Zamora for their involvement in organizing these tests and the assignment of municipal spaces to carry them out, as well as the Municipal Police and National Police, as well as the Government and Defense Sub-delegation and the A group of volunteers from the Zamora Civil Protection, who collaborate in carrying out the screening in the province of Zamora and the rest of the municipalities that belong to the basic health zone Zamora Sur.
