The Health Ministry has authorized HMOs to begin extending its coronavirus testing to include those who are not in quarantine.
The tests will be carried out at specially designated clinics for those with symptoms that may indicate the presence of the disease.
The clinics have been set up over the past week to examine those with fever and respiratory symptoms such as sore throat, shortness of breath or cough. The clinics are subject to special measures aimed at preventing the exposure of other patients to the virus.
Visits to clinics will be done independently or through a doctor's referral obtained via online services.
