The Health Ministry has published an updated list of private labs which have verified procedures for RT-RCR diagnostic tests, which is the only accepted and approved method of testing for Covid-19, and which the public and businesses can contact.
Other labs, other than those listed below, carry out RT-RCR tests, but their procedures have not yet been verified and therefore the test result must be confirmed by the reference lab of the Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics.
The Health Ministry said it was in contact with these labs and will update the list once their methodology is verified.
Other than the Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics and the labs of state health services (Okypi) hospitals, the private labs which have verified their diagnostic methodology to test for the virus are:
