Wasafiri wanaoingia au kutoka Zanzibar kuanzia leo vipimo vyao vya Covid-19 vitachukuliwa kutoka hoteli kubwa na matokeo kupelekwa kwa mamlaka husika kwa njia ya elektroniki.
Hii inafuatia kuletwa kwa ripoti ya maabara ya elektroniki ya Covid-19 na Wizara ya Afya ya Zanzibar, Maendeleo ya Jamii, Jinsia, Wazee na Watoto.
Katibu Mkuu, Dkt Omar Dadi Shajak, aliwaambia waandishi wa habari jana kuwa wizara imeanzisha vituo vya kupima katika hoteli kuu ili kuongeza ufanisi.
Uamuzi huo pia unataka kubana vyeti feki vya mtihani wa Covid-19 na kuondoa usumbufu na msongamano wa wasafiri katika vituo vya majaribio vya Mazizini na Lumumba Unguja na kituo kimoja huko Pemba, alisema.
Dk Shajak alisema ada ya upimaji wa Covid-19 imeongezwa hadi $ 80 kwa wasafiri wote kutokana na kuongezeka kwa gharama ya vifaa vya upimaji, akionya kuwa Wazanzibari hawana sababu ya kulalamikia kuongezeka kwa gharama ya ada ya upimaji.
=====================
TRAVELLERS entering or leaving Zanzibar will from today have their Covid-19 tests taken from major hotels and results posted to relevant authorities electronically.
This follows the introduction of Covid-19 electronic laboratory reporting by the Zanzibar Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children.
The Permanent Secretary, Dr Omar Dadi Shajak, told reporters yesterday that the ministry has established testing centres at major hotels to enhance efficiency.
The decision also seeks to clamp down on fake Covid-19 test certificates and removing inconveniences and congestion of travellers at Mazizini and Lumumba testing centres in Unguja and one centre in Pemba, he stated.
Dr Shajak said the fee for Covid-19 testing has been increased to $80 for all travellers due to an increase in the cost of testing equipment, cautioning that Zanzibaris have no reason to complain for the increase cost of testing fees.
It is not treatment cost but strict requirements of airlines that require all passengers to have test certificates showing they aren’t carriers of the disease, he emphasised.
