A&E DEPARTMENTS ARE NOT TESTING PLACES FOR INFLUENZA A - 'STOP IMMEDIATELY'

 Filenews 14 February 2026



The A&E of Public Hospitals are not testing areas for influenza A, OKYPY emphasizes, adding that the mission of the A&E is to deal with life-threatening situations.

As the Organization states, "this practice must stop immediately because it is to the detriment of incidents where their lives are in danger. We can test for flu using special tests that we find on the market or in pharmacies."

"In case we have symptoms, we turn to our personal doctor for medical advice. A&E are in no way a substitute for personal doctors. The staff of the A&E are on constant alert, they work very hard and with professionalism to save lives", he emphasizes.
