Raed Arafat offered an explanation for such a large increase in the number of new cases of Coronavirus in Romania in recent weeks, saying that many people are testing themselves at home to see if they are infected with COVID-19, but they are using the antigen tests incorrectly ( fast).
Raed Arafat also says that many people who have positive tests for COVID-19 do not go to the hospital to receive the correct treatment in time, even though they know they are infected, and they arrive when their situation is much worse than it should be.
"I want to emphasize and convey a message related to what our colleagues tell us and we observe on the ground: many people come from home to the hospital in a rather serious condition. So, compared to the situation a few months ago, it is that more people are getting tested, they know they are positive, they are staying at home.
Today it was brought to our attention that there are some who may be tested with antigen tests, they do not do well, they come out negative, I think they are negative, but they have respiratory symptoms and arrive at the hospital late, and in the end it turns out that they are positive . declared Raed Arafat on Antena 3."
