The Government Gazette that was published yesterday had a big change, since for the first time, in fact, a small extension is foreseen in the expired disease certificates..
Specifically in accordance with the relevant Joint Ministerial Decision (JMC), disease certificate is issued either after laboratory test by PCR method in 14 days after the first positive test either -especially for fully vaccinated- after positive control using rapid antigen detection (rapid test).
It is clarified, still, that the validity of the disease certificate lasts up to 90 days after the above single or first positive test.
Disease certificates issued by 05/07/2021 up to 31/10/2021 either after laboratory testing by PCR or after testing using rapid test remain valid until 180 days after the first positive test and in any case not beyond 31 January 2022.
Par’ all these, the validity of disease certificates issued from 1 November 2021 up to 04/12/2021 either after laboratory test by PCR method or after rapid test test lasts ninety 90 days.
It is recalled that after the change of validity of the disease certificates from six to three months, no extension was given to those who had expired certificates while, with this change they are essentially given time to schedule their vaccination appointment.
