Estremadura, December 21 2021 – The Ribera Santa Justa and Ribera Almendralejo hospitals have established special hours for carrying out Covid tests on such important dates as Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, given the increase in the accumulated incidence in Extremadura, as in the rest of Spain. These two health centers, like the rest of the hospitals managed by the Ribera health group, are going to reinforce these services, through its laboratory division, Ribera Lab, with the aim of helping to stop infections in meetings with family members and friends these days
Thus, Ribera Santa Justa will carry out antigen tests until 22 p.m. on the same day of Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, and Ribera Almendralejo will do the same until 20 p.m. on December 24 and 31. In this way, just before sitting down to dinner or lunch with the family, citizens can be sure that they are not carriers of the virus.
However, if the required test is a PCR, it will be necessary to go to the hospital before the 23rd at 17:30 p.m. and the XNUMXth at the same time, if you want to have the result before meeting with family and friends.
The rise in the accumulated incidence in all regions of Spain has led health organizations, authorities, companies and individuals to reinforce safety and hygiene measures against Covid, to try to prevent further increase in the transmission of the virus in meetings with family and friends at these parties.
