Schwandorf district. Patients who think they have Corona or are experiencing symptoms should continue to contact their family doctor first. However, contact must be made by phone so that an infection cannot be put into practice.

It is also the family doctor who decides whether someone needs to be tested and who registers the patient with the central test center. Anyone who is tested will not receive the test result from the laboratory. “Calls to laboratories are completely out of place and only lead to unnecessary delays”, press spokesman Hans Prechtl makes clear.
