OKYpY Urges Public: Do Not Visit Emergency Rooms for Flu – What to Do if You Have Symptoms

The State Health Services Organization (OKYpY) is drawing the public’s attention and emphasizing that Accident and Emergency Departments (A&Es) are not suitable places for flu A testing. The mission of A&Es is to deal with urgent, life-threatening situations. Citizens who experience flu symptoms are urged to use special tests available in the market or in pharmacies and to consult their personal doctor. OKYpY stresses that A&Es do not replace personal doctors and that their staff is working hard to save lives.
