Until last week, the GGD was able to process the Zeeland tests in a laboratory nearby. But due to the increased pressure at the test locations, in Zeeland and the rest of the Netherlands, contracts have been concluded with German laboratories to relieve the burden on the Dutch.
This means that a number of Zeelanders have to wait a little longer for their test results. GGD Zeeland could not say exactly how many Zeeland tests it concerns. According to a spokesman, this concerns a small part of the Zeeland tests.
Short term
The result can still be given between 24 and 48 hours after the test, in accordance with national guidelines. But until last week it happened more often that the results were there the same day.
The GGD Zeeland wants to get rid of this German construction as soon as possible and process all tests in the vicinity. “It is a temporary solution to guarantee continuity in the testing policy.”
